Henri Sevenet (1914–1944), code names Rodolphe and Mathieu, was an agent of the clandestine British Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II. The purpose of SOE was to conduct espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance in countries occupied by Nazi Germany or other Axis powers. SOE agents allied themselves with resistance groups and supplied them with weapons and equipment parachuted in from England. Sevenet joined the French Resistance in 1941. He joined the SOE in 1942 and undertook two missions to France. In 1944 Sevenet, known as Commandant Mathieu, supplied a large resistance group called the Free Corps of Black Mountain (CFMN). After the Allies invaded France on June 6, 1944, Sevenet's group attacked German supply lines. The Germans launched a counter attack on the CFMN and killed Sevenet in a bombing raid on 20 July 1944.
