Violette Szabo: The Life That I Have: Interrogation at Ravensbrück: The Final Testimony of an SOE Agent in World War II

 A dramatic historical narrative, written in the second person, detailing the life and death of Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent Violette Szabo. The text is set during her final interrogation at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in February 1945. It juxtaposes the clinical details of her German file (including her training, the 'Salesman II' missions, her capture at Salon-la-Tour, and conflicting accounts of her final stand) with her defiant inner monologue and cherished memories of her husband Étienne and daughter Tania. The document also catalogs her lasting legacy, including the posthumous George Cross and later cultural references such as the film *Carve Her Name with Pride* (1956) and the video game *Velvet Assassin* (2009).
