RESTLESS: Meet the Characters

Ever played the video game Velvet Assassin? Then you already know about WWII Special Operations agent Violette Szabo (the game is inspired by her story). Born in France, she moved with her family to London, where she met and married a French soldier, Étienne Szabo, at age 19 (he was more than a decade her senior). When he was killed in battle two years later—having never met their daughter, born only months before—Violette was inspired to join the service herself. As a secret agent, she parachuted into France, where she planned the sabotage of a railroad, disrupted enemy communication and passed along strategic information. Not long after, she was captured after a fierce gunfight with the Nazis, tortured and transported to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she was executed. She was only 23 years old. Her life story was turned into a book and then a movie, both called <i>Carve Her Name with Pride</i>.
