Storyline
1940, Linda Voss is a woman of Irish, Jewish-German parentage who loves the movies, especially films about war and spies. She gets a job at a New York law firm, after it's revealed she can speak German, fluently. As secretary and translator to Ed Leland, she begins to suspect that her boss is involved in espionage work. The two become lovers, and when America officially joins the Allies in fighting Hitler, Linda volunteers to go undercover behind enemy lines. Written by L. Hamre

Trivia
After Dietrich "hires" Linda to be his nanny, Linda delivers a voice-over explaining the fortunate circumstances she had stumbled in to - including mentioning that Dietrich frequently entertained guests including Himmler and von Stauffenberg. von Stauffenberg is the officer played by Tom Cruise in Valkyrie.

Factual errors: When Margrete ushers Linda into her home, her mother is playing Chopin's "Andante Spianato" and "Grand Polonnaise" on the piano. She is a Nazi sympathizer, so she probably wouldn't play music by a Polish and French composer. See more »
