2. Childhood/Family Nancy Wake was born on the 30 th of August 1912 in Wellington, New Zealand. Her full name is Nancy Grace Augusta Wake, Her father’s called Charles Augustus and her mum’s Ella Rosieur Wake. Nancy is a sister of Hazel h.Wake,Herbet k.Wake and Ruby Wake. When Nancy was two, her and her family moved to Australia, where she spent her childhood in Sydney, then went to North Sydney Girl's High School when she got older. After school wake spent some time nursing, then returning back to Sydney and unexpectedly getting a lot of money, which allowed her to follow her dream to see the world. When Wake just turned 21 she moved to London then shortly after, Paris, working as a journalist.

3. The War Days In 1934 Nancy Wake travelled to Vienna and Berlin, where she saw the rise of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Returning to Paris she saw the Jews,coming through to France as Nazi policies left them little choice but to leave their home. Throughout that phase she came across a rich, French businessman, Henri Fiocca, who she married soon after the breakout of the 2 nd World War. Wake was determined to help in the war. In the early months of the War she drove an ambulance, assisting refugees and then the wounded as the war crept closer to home. After the fall of France, Wake acted as a courier. By 1943 the Germans were aware of the activities of an unknown woman, they had nicknamed 'the White Mouse', and her ability to avoid being captured. Suspicion landed on Wake and it was obvious that she needed to leave France quickly. After six busy attempts, she finally escaped to Spain and then to England. Nancy couldn’t resist being part of the resistance in France, so she went back pretending to be a nurse. But then she got captured. It was only after she got released from France that she learned her husband, French businessman Henri Fiocca, had been tortured and killed by the Nazi policies for refusing to give her up.

6. Some personal quotes I have only one thing to say: I killed a lot of Germans, and I am only sorry I didn't kill more. (on women's role during wartime I don't see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then knit them balaclavas. (describing herself) someone who loved nothing more than 'a good drink' and handsome men 'especially French men.‘ (on killing during World War II) I was not a very nice person. And it didn't put me off my breakfast. Life after war: It's dreadful because you've been so busy and then it all just fizzles out. I was never afraid. I was too busy to be afraid. Freedom is the only thing worth living for. While I was doing that work, I used to think it didn’t matter if I died, because without freedom there was no point living

7. Why I think Nancy Wake is a hero Nancy Wake is a hero because....... She was in war, and you would have to be very brave to go into war She was never afraid She saved the lives of hundreds of Allied soldiers and people in planes that got shot down
