Post; The White Mouse


Probably Australia's most famous female warrior and a heroine to the French resistance of WWII is Nancy Wake or as she was known to the French and the Germans the White Mouse.
A remarkable lady and not afraid to give an honest opinion about the realitys of war as many a reporter has discovered when interviewing her.
To prove herself to the resistance when she first worked with them (she was SOE?) she had to strangle or slit the throat of a captured German soldier. SHe did it.
Tough old bird.
