Very early #OnThisDay, 14 Aug 1943, Eliane Plewman parachutes into Nazi-occupied France to become a courier for the Special Operations Executive. The British SOE supported the French resistance. A courier would move messages and equipment between people.

Captured after 7 months, she was executed in Dachau in Sept 1944.
