Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things, Dominic Dunn, where it really is always all connected.

Thank you for joining me today for the final part of Coco Chanel's story, getting us from 1936 or so to the end of her life.

And this week, we're going to twist it up a little bit. We're going to

open at the close. I want to take you to the after effects of her death first. And then we're

going to back it up to unpack Coco's decision to become a Nazi spy. There is much to cover in this

conclusion of our Cocoa Chanel arc.

Before we begin today's episode and reveal all the summertime fun, beginning next Monday, June 16th,

I must take a moment to thank our newest supporters on Patreon.

Holy cats, you all.

With tremendous love thanks and praise, Karen B, Carla T, Carrie A, Martha K, Sabrina, and

Laura T.

Y'all are simply the best.

Thank you so much for your support on Patreon, new folks, as well as you ever so dedicated sustaining supporters. I am so

grateful for you all, and this is definitely the time you're going to be happy that you are a patron.

Every Sunday for the next five weeks, you will have three fresh, way, way early, and ad-free episodes. As next week, we begin our

summertime series, Wallace, Duchess of Windsor. Y'all, there are spider webs in our journey,

and then there are spiders. Oh, Wallace, all over the 20th century in ways you've never seen coming that connect

into our land of Dominic Dunn. I am enchanted by the series. I hope you will be as well.

That all begins Monday on the main feed here. However, today, let's wrap up Coco Chanel.

Coco, ever determined. At this point in our story, she's wrap up Coco Chanel. Coco ever determined.

At this point in our story, she's getting into her 50s, and that is not going to slow her down at all.

We have a world war, spying for the Nazis, and then a comeback.
