We would like to play another short video of Mata Hari to you. She became a spy during the Great War. She combined sex and espionage in her life. She started out with some talent for impersonation. During her early career, she masqueraded as Lady MacLeod, the child of an English lord. It was a spy she only lasted a few days. On the 15th of October, she was shot to death by a firing squad. The investigators found that she wore no blindfold and blew a kiss to the men.
