Nancy Wake
Nancy Grace Augusta Wake, a New Zealand-born nurse and journalist who joined the French Resistance and later Director of Special Operations during World War II, and pursued a career after the war as an intelligence officer at the Air Force. The official historian of SOE, M.R.D. Her "indestructible spirit of joy," says Foot, is joy to everyone who has worked with her. Wake was living in Marseille with his French industrial husband, Henri Fiocca, when the war broke out. After France fell to the Nazis in 1940, Wake became the courier for Pat O'Leary's escape network led by Ian Garrow and later Albert Guérisse. As a member of the Escape Network, she helped Allied pilots escape German pursuit and fled to neutral Spain. In 1943, when the Germans learned of her, she fled to Spain and continued on her way to Great Britain. Her husband was arrested and executed.
