Event Short Description
Event Information
After surviving nearly two years in Nazi captivity and at Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, SOE agent Odette Sansom is unexpectedly freed by her captor, SS Commandant Fritz Suhren, who hopes to use her to negotiate his surrender. At the American front lines, Odette exposes him as a war criminal and hands him over to the Allies. Sitting in Suhren’s SS-issued convertible under the night sky, she convinces Captain Edward Bonner to let her stay outside a little longer, telling him the extraordinary story of her life—and how a ‘Little Green Leaf’ saved her in her darkest moment.
