Violette undertook two missions in 1944,... parachuting into Occupied France to work with local Resistance groups. During her second mission, she was captured and eventually sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp where she was executed. She was only 24. The women of the SOE were among the ‘bravest of the brave’. Of 55 female agents, 12 were executed, with another 13 killed in action. Only three other women have been awarded the George Cross, all of them SOE members. One of them, Odette Sansom, described Violette Szabo as, the bravest of us all."
