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
