Veterans have witnessed the unveiling of a bust of Violette Szabo, one of the SOE’s most famous operators, on the South Bank of the River Thames.
The memorial is intended to stand for all the SOE’s operators who belonged to an organisation that Winston Churchill intended to use to “set Europe ablaze” to carry out reconnaissance and sabotage across occupied Europe. It had more than 2,000 members, many with backgrounds in subversion, sabotage, armed resistance and propaganda. Many were trained assassins.
The Real Heroes of Telemark
Among the SOE’s exploits was a commando raid on a factory in Telemark, Norway, where the Nazis were experimenting with heavy water, an essential ingredient in atomic bombs. Again, cinema has highlighted the SOE’s work and success with the film Heroes of Telemark, based on the raid. The man who led the real raid, Joachim Ronneberg, was a guest of honour at the unveiling of the Szabo bust.
