The women partisans took on extremely dangerous missions for the Resistance.  They relayed messages between the partisan groups as well as to and from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) Operational Groups (OGs), delivered food, money, clothing and sometimes even weapons to Resistance groups.  Frequently, these female partisans had to cross German lines to accomplish their mission.  Each time, they ran the risk of discovery which they knew could result in torture or their death.  Still they continued valiantly with their assignments, sometimes suffering great deprivation in order to accomplish their missions.
