A few days after Paris was liberated from the Nazis in August 1944, the most notorious fashion couturière in the world fled to Switzerland after escaping the French capitol and almost certain death. How did an exhausted Coco Chanel get there and who helped her evade warring Allied and German troops? For 80 years, this incredible feat of courage, luck and ingenuity in the midst of immense danger has been deliberately shrouded in disinformation and secrecy. Now, what really happened to Coco Chanel during that fascinating and scandalous period of her life between 1944 and 1954 can finally be revealed.
