The Lyrics

During WW2 the French Resistance caused the Germans much headaches with sabotage and murder. Among them was a female assassin that went under the alias Veronique Sasson but quickly became known as the "Black Swan". I do not know the origin of this except for a single source that claims she made her first kill at a German-sponsored ball in occupied France in which she came dressed as a black swan in costume and escaped. Apparently, she carried a MAS M1935 pistol in 7.65mm Longue (which would be rare to get if not connected to the French Army) AND a falchion sword for decapitations!!! It is rumored that she assassinated 16 German soldiers and several Officers. in retaliation, the SS killed many villagers. What happened to her is a mystery as her activities stopped before the end of the war in France. She seemed to melt right into the background. During WW2 there were female assassins in France, Yugoslavia, Greece, USSR, and from Britain. Most were resistance and partisans, others (especially USSR) were armed factory workers that engaged right at the doorstep when the Germans came and then fled into the hills to keep fighting...
Vive La Resistance!
An assassin on a mission
Driven by rage, she will engage
The Germans with a falchion

Travels the countryside
Makes contact with spies, then moves on
MAS ‘35, her chosen side
Here she comes, beware the Black Swan

Aided by S.O.E.
Derails trains, steals ammunition
Carries a blade, stays in the shade
Kills all soldiers that are German

She, Veronique Sasson
An alias she passes on
Never exposed, leaves a Black Rose
Killed the Germans with sword and gun

Her legend lives on
The dreaded Black Swan
In occupied France
There, her work was done

SS murdered villagers for fun (in retaliation)…

Cool story and song.

There are many female warrior stories from WW2 and I love strong females in uniform and armed. But being of Germanic descent, and having part of my family on the German side, I get divided. The SS and Gestapo, Einsatzkommandos, and other extermination teams did not take kindly to resistance members and partisan or armed civilians. One German shot usually equalled 10+ reprisal killings. Black Swan did her job but maybe continued on with the British fighting communist partisans that sought to divide many Euro nations as the Soviets marched West. Who knows??? Thought I would mention her and many other females from WW2. There are many female heroines on both sides and most are not found in any history books. It takes people like me to keep their memory alive...
