Not a lot of people know Noor Inayat Khan, an Indian Muslim SOE agent who was executed in Dachau:

Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (نور عنایت خان) GC (2 January 1914 - 13 September 1944) was an Allied Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent during the Second World War who was posthumously awarded the George Cross, the highest civilian decoration in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations. Also known as “Nora Baker”,[1] “Madeleine”,[2] and “Jeanne-Marie Rennier”, she was of Indian and American origin. As an SOE agent, she became the first female radio operator to be sent from Britain into occupied France to aid the French Resistance.
