Nancy Wake

The Gripping True Story Of The Woman Who Became The Gestapo's Most Wanted Spy In The Early 1930s, Nancy Wake Was A Young Woman Enjoying A Bohemian Life In Paris. By The End Of The Second World War, She Was The Gestapo's Most Wanted Person. As A Naïve, Young Journalist, Nancy Wake Witnessed A Horrific Scene Of Nazi Violence In A Viennese Street. From That Moment, She Declared That She Would Do Everything In Her Power To Rid Europe Of The Nazis. What Began As A Courier Job Here And There Became A Highly Successful Escape Network For Allied Soldiers, Perfectly Camouflaged By Nancy's High-society Life In Marseille. Her Network Was Soon So Successful - And So Notorious - That She Was Forced To Flee France To Escape The Gestapo, Who Had Dubbed Her The White Mouse For Her Knack Of Slipping Through Its Traps. But Nancy Was A Passionate Enemy Of The Nazis And Refused To Stay Away. Supplying Weapons And Training Members Of A Powerful Underground Fighting Force, Organising Allied Parachute Drops, Cycling Four Hundred Kilometres Across A Mountain Range To Find A New Transmitting Radio - Nothing Seemed Too Difficult In Her Fight Against The Nazis. Peter Fitzsimons Reveals Nancy Wake's Compelling Story, A Tale Of An Ordinary Woman Doing Extraordinary Things.
