Young underwent rigorous training in sabotage, espionage, and survival skills. She was also trained in the use of explosives and weapons.

In 1944, Young was captured by the Gestapo. She was tortured and interrogated, but she refused to give up any information about her mission or her contacts.

Despite the severe beatings, Young remain defiant and did not betray her comrades. Eventually, she was sent to a concentration camp. She managed to escape and make her way back to England.

Later Life and Legacy

After the war, Young returned to England and continued to work for the SOE. She also worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS),the American equivalent of the SOE.

Young retired from the secret service in 1949. In 1950, she published a book about her experiences as a secret agent, entitled "The Spy Who Never Was." The book was a critical and commercial success.

Judy Young died in London in 2004 at the age of 89. She is remembered as one of the most courageous and dedicated secret agents of World War II.
