#OnThisDay, 30 July 1942, Yvonne Rudellat arrives in Nazi-occupied France by boat as courier for the Special Operations Executive. She works for 11 months before her capture.
She had been shot in the head during her capture, and failed to recognise other agents who greeted her in Ravensbruck. She was transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and died there of typhus just after its liberation.
