Lilian Vera Rolfe, MBE (26 April 1914 – 5 February 1945), code name Nadine, was an agent of the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) organisation in France 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.

SOE agents in France allied themselves with French Resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England.

[1][2] On 5 April 1944, Rolfe was dropped off by Westland Lysander airplane at a clandestine airfield near the village of Azay-sur-Cher (near Tours) in German occupied France.

[3] Rolfe was assigned to work in the Historian network (or circuit) headed by George Alfred "Teddy" Wilkinson and based in the city of Orleans.

In the meantime, she met and worked with the local French resistance organization, the Maquis, sought out landing sites for clandestine aircraft and parachute drops of supplies, and established safe houses.

In one house they anticipated finding a resister, but instead they found Rolfe, an unexpected treasure, a SOE wireless operator.

Along with SOE agents Violette Szabo and Denise Bloch she volunteered for a work party at Torgau in Saxony, where conditions were better than at Ravensbrūck.

Camp commandant Fritz Suhren read the order for their execution and they were each shot in the back of the head with a small caliber pistol.

[10] In the town of Montargis in the Loiret département, where she had been active, a street was named for her alias: "Rue Claudie Rolfe".
