This is how author Russell Braddon described Nancy Wake. Exuberant and gregarious, she swore like a sailor and was able to drink nearly all her male counterparts under the table. Her story is an inspiring journey through the darkest days of World War II and of triumph in near-impossible circumstances. A fearless leader, skilled saboteur, and dedicated member of the French Resistance, Nancy's incredible contribution to the fight against Nazi Germany and her uncanny ability to evade capture by the Gestapo earned her the nickname "the White Mouse". Her notoriety among the Gestapo rose to the degree that a 5 million Franc bounty was put on her head. Nancy Wake would go on to become the most decorated British servicewoman, earning accolades for her courage, resilience, and cunning as a member of the British Special Operations Executive. This is Nancy’s Wake story. #nancywake #whitemouse #spystories
