Remember my character is also spying for American intelligence she has other duties than resistance ones, so with that in mind the first mission is most likely one that would serve both interests and I can't see her not invited or at worse has to be on the arm of a German officer or dignitary. If alone she could ask a prominant German to come with her as her escort maybe a handsome officer who might see it as good for his career.<br/><br/>And if she wants to work on a project for the propaganda machine she could get useful support say to visit a prison for an unbiased (very biased pro-German and French government) piece maybe a pamphlet on the good treatment they are given. Likely she would need a high level SS officer and government agency support for this is there a better place to make contacts for this work than a big party.
