In 1903, a dancer who specialized in Indian dance appeared in Paris, which immediately caused quite a stir, and everyone in high society was proud to have a personal relationship with her. But it is unimaginable that her name would be associated with the word "spy".
The dancer who has infatuated countless men is originally named Margaret Gertrude Van Zeller, and the rumors about her are either full of peach or full of conspiracy, but is she inherently lascivious and sinister?
Margaret was once a child who was pampered by her parents in the palm of her hand, until she was 15 years old, the family fell in the middle of the road, her mother died of illness, and her father remarried, and her life ushered in a series of tragedies.
In the new family, Margaret became a superfluous person and was sent to the normal boarding school, because of her beauty, she was raped by the morally upright headmaster, and gradually became the plaything of the inhumane teachers.
Margaret was desperate to get out of this predicament, so when she saw a marriage notice in the newspaper, she used it as a lifesaver and married 39-year-old Rio dePort. The naïve girl did not know that what was about to greet her was a hellish marriage!
After marriage, the husband's nature was gradually revealed, and the originally honest and kind captain husband was a shameless person who ate, drank, gambled and gambled. At first, Margaret was able to persuade herself to endure, until 1899, when the nanny hated Riad for beating her husband and poisoning her 3-year-old son Norman, and the grief-stricken Margaret completely hated the man.
One night, while attending a banquet with her husband, Margaret was so attracted by the enchanting dance of a dancer that she failed to respond to her husband in time, and was beaten and threatened. Without her son's involvement and the threat to her life, Margaret was even more determined to end the marriage.
In August 1902, the two officially divorced, and in order to survive, she went to Paris alone by secretly learning a dance, after which she had another name " Marta Harry " .
Her good looks, sexy and seductive dancing posture, the ability to observe colors and flatter men made her soon become a high-level social flower in the European paradise, and rich and powerful men flocked to her one by one and willingly fell under her pomegranate skirt.
In this way, Marta Harry wandered around the high society of various countries, and thus became acquainted with many high-ranking officers, and in the midst of the wine pond meat forest, she heard a lot of state secrets. Gradually, arbitrage of intelligence became her pleasure and source of money!
In 1915, Marta Harri officially became a German spy, using the tour as a cover to privately collect Spanish intelligence and pass it on to Berlin. Just as the so-called "often walk by the river, where there are not wet shoes", her behavior was discovered by british spies and reported to France.
Marta Harri realized the danger by relying on the woman's sixth sense, and took the initiative to contact the French counter-espionage leader Laddou to surrender, which was in the first world war, Ladu did not trust her, but wanted to send false information to Germany through her, a "praying mantis catching cicada yellow finches behind", so he simply let her wait in Spain first.
However, this did not happen, and Marta Hari was arrested on February 13, 1917, on charges of espionage, and when she was executed, she was still sending flying kisses to the man who pulled the trigger in front of her, as if to laugh at the man, as if to laugh at herself!
After Marta Harry's death, her head was specially treated and preserved at the Anatomy Museum in Paris, but disappeared in 2000!
Her life is full of tragedy, being bullied and insulted, but I have to admit that she has been trying to live a wonderful life!
