Description

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 na√Øve journalist, Nancy Wake witnessed a horrific scene of Nazi violence in a Viennese street. From that momement she declared she would do everything in her power to rid Europe of the Nazi presence. What began as a courier job here and there, became a highly successful escape network for Allied soldiers. Her network was soon so successful that she had to flee France to escape the Gestapo who had dubbed her ‘the white mouse’ for her knack of slipping through its traps.
