Nancy Wake was an Australian girl who, aged, 16 ran away from her abusive mother to the other side of the world.
Nancy Wake was a wife who, when her husband was snatched by the Gestapo, fought to be trained by SOE and returned to France to take her revenge.
Nancy Wake was a soldier who led a battalion of 7,000 French Resistance fighters who called her Field Marshall. Who had a five million franc bounty on her head. Who killed a Nazi with her bare hands. Who defeated 22,000 Germans with the loss of only 100 men. Who sold her medals because “I’ll probably go to hell and they’d melt anyway.”
