Summer, 1942 – As World War II raged on, men and women of the Allied Nations made many sacrifices for the cause of freedom. Much has been written of how women stepped into what were long considered to be “men’s work” as the country’s able-bodied males were called to military duty. Women also served in the military in non-combat roles, never officially placed on the front lines to fight. While it is well known a number of women bravely took part in the French Resistance, what of those American and English ladies who wanted to serve? Why didn’t the Allies use every weapon in their arsenal to battle Hitler’s forces? After over 70 years, Project: Commando Cuties has been declassified.
Six women recruited by Allied Military Intelligence, led by Vicky Crenshaw, tour with the Allied Entertainment Corps by day as an “all-girl orchestra”. This allows them to get closer to the front lines, where they cross into enemy territory by night to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage missions. Their liaison with MI-5 and lone male team member is Lt. Thomas Hardy, given the cover story of being the assistant manager for the Allied Entertainment Corps troupe.
