    Why has't there been a film made about her and her exploits. This woman is incredible!

    Rest in Peace Nancy Wake, and try not to take over heaven when you get there.

    Very cool! You just don't find that caliber of people much anymore.

    Wonder if her or some of the people she fought with helped my grandfather get back to England on the number of occasions he was shot down in his B-17. He did say people helped hide him (and others) and got them into Spain or across the channel on boats.
