Nancy Wake - The White Mouse !!
I hate wars and violence but if they come then I don't see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then knit them balaclavas - Nancy Wade
Born in Roseneath, Wellington, New Zealand, on 30 August 1912, (Died at Age 98) Nancy Wake was the youngest of six children. She was Māori through her great-grandmother Pourewa, believed to be of the Ngāti Māhanga iwi.
Grew up in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. By the 1930s, Nancy Wake was living in Marseille with her French industrialist husband, Henri Fiocca, when the war broke out.
After the fall of France to Nazi Germany in 1940, Nancy Wake became a courier for the Pat O'Leary escape network led by Ian Garrow and, later, Albert Guérisse. As a member of the escape network, she helped Allied airmen evade capture by the Germans and escape to neutral Spain. In 1943, when the Germans became aware of her, she escaped to Spain and continued on to the United Kingdom. Her husband was captured and executed.
In reference to Wake's ability to elude capture, the Gestapo called her the "White Mouse".
Nancy Wake was a recipient of the George Medal from the United Kingdom (17 July 1945), the Medal of Freedom from the United States (1947), the Légion d'honneur from France (1970: Knight; 1988: Officer), a Companion of the Order of Australia from Australia (22 February 2004), and the Badge in Gold from New Zealand (2006).
