Page "Violette Szabo" Paragraph 4

Under the code name " Louise ", she and SOE colleague Philippe Liewer reorganised a French Resistance network that had been broken up by the Germans.

She led the new group in sabotaging road and railway bridges.

Her wireless reports to SOE headquarters on the local factories producing war materials for the Germans were important in establishing Allied bombing targets.

She returned to England by Lysander on 30 April 1944, landing at RAF Tempsford, after an intense but successful first mission.
