Memorial Murdered British Officers

Here in Dachau on the 12th of september 1944 four young woman officers of the British Forces attached to Special Operations Executive were brutally murdered and their bodies cremated. They died as gallantly as they had served the Resistance in France during the common struggle for fredom from tyranny.

"But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God and there shall no torment touch them."
