Lightbulb Young Brave and Beautiful - the 1944 missions of Violette Szabo

Hello everyone and En,
Young Brave and Beautiful is obtainable by emailing paul.simmonds@jerseywartunnels.com, the CEO of The Jersey War Tunnels. They purchased the entire first print of the hardback.
I have not written another biography but have dramatically recreated her two missions in 1944 in Rouen and in Sussac - covering almost each day and using 'flashback' to fill in a necessary background to her life. It corrects many errors, contains a great deal of personal research - mostly with corroboration from other sources and puts paid to the suggestion that she may not even have had a gun battle against part of the Das Reich Panzers and their Feldgendarmerie outpost. She did and she killed at least one German corporal and this was instrumental in her being awarded by 'Rivier' the Croix de Guerre with Star in September of 1944 in her absence. But Rouen is opened up so that it can be seen just what she accomplished on that first extremely perilous mission in the most dangerous area of France in April 1944 with the exception of Calais-Dieppe. Well, thanks for reading this and happy year all year to each member. Ciao for now. Au revoir.
