The funniest thing about honey traps is that military intelligence has to sit grown men down and be like:

“Listen bud, you’re not *that* good-looking. If a beautiful woman you’ve never met is suddenly super into you, she is probably after state secrets, not your dumb ass.”

They did make movies about that. It's Vagina Dentata/Teeth. They have to make it horror/comedy because facing it head on seriously would get it banned so quickly

I think the closest we get to a representation of her in mass media is in Wolfenstein: The New Order, and even then it's not a central focus, but audio logs in one mission.

I rarely meet men in real life as extraordinary as ones on film, and rarely see women on film as extraordinary as ones I know in real life

I remember when this was in the news a little while ago and Twitter was full of outraged men insisting it was glorifying murder and the targets were just ordinary soldiers

That's not the right take. The right take is - the fascists in charge empathise with the SS. This is why Soviet soldiers are depicted like morons and the war was won at Omaha beach and not in Berlin.

I would also like a movie about this you woman helping liberate her home town from Nazis (I believe this is Simone Seguin) I mean this is a vibe right here
Short shorts? Check
Peasant blouse? Check
