Ginette Marie Hélène Jullian (born, 8 December 1917, Montpellier, France - died, 4 August 1962, Tahiti), code named Adele, was an agent of the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) organization during World War II.
The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in occupied Europe against the Axis powers, especially Nazi Germany.
On 7 June 1944, the day after D-day, she parachuted into France near the village of Saint-Viâtre, Loir-et-Cher, with her colleague Gérard Dedieu.
In late June, Dedieu and Jullian finally found a safe house in Chartres, obtained a wireless set and began operations, arranging for 450 CLE Canisters of arms and supplies to be air-dropped to the resistance fighters.
[4] SOE leader Maurice Buckmaster described her as "exceptionally courageous" and recommended her for the Order of the British Empire.
