Victoire was born in 1919 in Strasbourg to Emile and Liselotte Doucet. She grew up in this binational family, learning French from her father and German from her mother.

Emile was head of the Medical Faculty of Strasbourg and quickly realized Victoire was growing into a brilliant child. He soon started to give her extra class work after school and introduced her to life sciences in general and medicine in particular. Using his considerable influence at the faculty and thanks to her incredible aptitude, he managed to get Victoire accepted as the first female student in 1936.

When the war started in 1939 the French government had the whole town evacuated and the Doucet family moved to relatives in Grenoble. After the annexation of France in 1940 her parents moved back to Strasbourg, accepting to live under German occupation. Victoire however stayed in Grenoble, uncertain of what would await her in her hometown.

Her left leaning political views led her to become close to the SFIO and to eventually join the Resitance alongside them in 1942. The maquisards of the Vercors plateau could certainly use a medic of her skill and she quickly became an important part of their organisation. Life as a maquisard was hard and dangerous and she was forced to learn how to take lives as well as save them.

By 1944 Victoire was a changed woman, hardened by the fighting and the cruelty of war, her role as medic forcing her to confront all of it directly. She had started to harbor a deep seated hate against the French collabos and their German helpers but what pushed her over the edge were the events of 1944 when the German army decided to assault the Vercors maquis to try and squash the Résistance. It was a slaughter, the maquisards being too lightly armed to deal with a Panzer backed German offensive.

Victoire had the bad luck of being in Vassieux-en-Vercors during the punitive expedition mounted by the German army that left the village in ruins, most of its inhabitants slaughtered. She survived by hiding in barrel stashed in one of the cellars, hearing the slaughter happen all around her. The experience has only reinforced her bitter hatred and left her feeling uneasy in enclosed spaces.

Later that year Victoire managed to join up with the troups of General Leclerc, moving from Paris to Strasbourg in accord with the Oath he took at Koufra to put down his arms only once the French colors were flying on the Cathedral of Strasbourg again. She gained some notoriety thanks to the symbolism of an Strasbourgeoise leading the armed forces to retake the city, reminiscent of Delacroix's La liberté guidant le peuple.

Back in her hometown in late 1944 she was finally able to see her father again. Sadly her mother had perished in the turmoil of wartime. She spent a few days with him but soon realized she couldn't sit idle while the war was not over. All she had been through alienated her from her old friends. She joined back up with Leclerc's forces intent to continue pushing into Germany.

When allied command needed to assemble a strike team for a special mission in early 1945 the French army commended her for the task, realizing her skill at guerrilla warfare made her a valuable asset for any team of restricted size.
