She was German born
And served as an agent for the SOE
In January 1944 “Tania”
Was arrested by the Gestapo
Along with other members of her
group
Then transported to Fresnes
Prison
And interrogated and
brutalized repeatedly
Before being sent to Karlsruhe in Germany,
With several other captured SOE agents
But was ultimately taken to
The Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp in France
Where on the 6th July 1944,
Along with three other agents
She was taken to the crematorium
After being beaten senseless
They were burned alive in the crematorium.
As far as the British were concerned
She was only missing.
To the great shame of the allies
Her name is not recorded on any
Of the SOE memorials
Despite having served as an agent for four years
And dying at the age of 20
