HEROINES OF THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE - VIOLETTE REINE ELIZABETH SZABO, GC

 

She was French born

But died as an agent for the SOE

In June 1944 while on a mission

She was captured by the Germans

And the SD Interrogated her at Limoges

Then transferred her to 84 Avenue Foch

Their HQ in Paris

But with the Allies closing in

She was transferred to Germany

To be imprisoned at Ravensbrück

Along with two other agents

And In the early morning hours

In February 1945,

They were shot in the back of the head

Their bodies then immediately

Burned in the crematorium.

She was posthumously awarded

A British George Cross and

A French Croix de Guerre with bronze star

And the Médaille de la Résistance
