“Corporal, do you know what you’ve typed?” asked Gen. Eisenhower. Helen Kogel said, “Yes, sir. These are the battle plans that you will use for the invasion of France.”

She didn't reveal her involvement for fifty years, only in 1994 when she heard someone wonder if women had any part in the Normandy Invasion.

Wow

Helen Kogel Denton was buried on December 7, 2013.

Quite a story! :thumbsup:
 
Growing up we all knew Mom was in the Waves. She rarely talked about what she did though. It was in the mid 90s that we found out that she helped keep track of all the ships locations (BIG secret back then). We asked why she never told us about it, She said "They told me that I couldn't talk about it, so I didn't"
