The Salesman Circuit
The Szabo Drop
Reportedly organized by Phillip Liewer (Hamlet also known as Maj Charles Staunton), this circuit near Limoges became famous because the female courier, a young French widow named Violette Szabo (Corinne), was martyred at Ravensbruck after being trapped by the Gestapo a few days after being dropped on the night of 7/8 June 1944 by the Fenster crew of the 36th BS, 801st BG. For years it was believed that she had been dropped from an SOE plane out of Tempsford on D-Day night but this has been firmly disproved. The four agents were Phillip Liewer, Robert Malouber, Violette Szabo, and Jean Guiet. Guiet survived and made his report in the OSS War Diary but only scarcely mentioned the details of the drop. In a long letter to Thomas Ensminger, on the 6 June 1998, he reported that "We were dropped near the village of Sussac, about 50km to the SE of Limoges. I know there were two runs with two of us going out the hole on each run." Now living in the United States, Jean Guiet's papers were scanned in 1999 and donated to the Special Operations archives of the US Air Force Academy.
