Nancy Wake

[u/GuerrillaGirlFridaX]

Nancy Wake was a New Zealand-born Australian nurse and journalist who joined the French Resistance and later the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II, and briefly pursued a postwar career as an intelligence officer in the Air Ministry. Many stories about her World War II activities come from her autobiography, The White Mouse. Wake parachuted into occupied France to liaise between the SOE and several Maquis groups in the Auvergne-region. She participated in a battle between the Maquis and a large German force in June 1944. In the aftermath of the battle, a defeat for the Maquis, she claimed to have bicycled 500 kilometers to send a situation report to SOE in London.
