The Saint Germain concert attack occurred in 1943 during World War II. French Resistance leader Duval Mingo sent Sean Devlin to assassinate his former fiancee, the singer Francine Martin, as she performed at a live concert in front of several German soldiers at Saint-Germain-des-Pres, as Martin had betrayed Mingo to the Germans. Devlin used a Gewehr 98 rifle to shoot Martin dead as she sang for the Germans, and he then proceeded to gun down several German soldiers in the audience. Devlin headed to the stage and retrieved Mingo's locket from Martin's body, and he escaped back to a sewer entrance, where he returned the locket to Mingo. Martin's death avenged the Jardin Des Plantes ambush and led to the German captain Gunter Krist, Martin's new lover, seeking vengeance.
