Biography
Natalya Sergeeva from a family of white emigrants. She is also the niece of the famous General Miller, who was kidnapped by the KGB.

The girl was generally brave. At a young age, she walked across Europe, then described it in her book. Lily also took a long bike ride from Paris to Saigon.
The scouts - voluntarily
The girl painted well. Subsequently, this played into her hands, since visual memory and the ability to make accurate sketches were important for the career of a scout.
Knowledge of languages, artistic talent, and the fact that Sergeyeva had relatives in England convinced German recruiters to entrust Natalya with a responsible mission.
Another girl was impudent and courageous, such qualities were also useful to the future scout.
But here the script from a comedy film about fascists was added to real life. Such paintings were very popular during the war. In fact, all this happened for real. Due to the stupidity and optionality of some Reich workers, Natalya waited her departure for 3 whole years. Either the workers of the valiant Germany sent the wrong messages, then they lost the encryption, then the boss Sergeyeva experienced heart drama. In general, after the end of this confusion and stupidity, it was only in the autumn of 1943 that the girl arrived in Spain.
