Nancy Wake, a New Zealand-born and Australian-raised journalist who witnessed Nazi persecution in Vienna in 1933, became one of Britain's most effective SOE agents in occupied France, earning the nickname 'The White Mouse' from the Gestapo who placed a 5-million-franc bounty on her head; she smuggled over 200 Allied airmen across the Pyrenees, cycled 500 kilometers through enemy territory to deliver radio codes, and killed an SS sentry with her bare hands during a sabotage raid, living to 98 with no regrets about her service.

The Woman the Gestapo Couldn't CatchAdded:
The Gestapo put a five-million-franc bounty on her head. They called her the White Mouse. Every time they closed a net, she slipped through.
Nancy Wake. New Zealand-born, Australian-raised. Watched Nazi thugs whip Jews in Vienna in 1933 and decided she was done watching. She smuggled 200 Allied airmen out of occupied France over the Pyrenees, cycled 500 km in 71 hours through enemy territory to deliver lost radio codes. And during a raid on a German outpost, she killed an SS sentry with her bare hands. A single strike to the throat so he couldn't raise the alarm. She lived to 98 and said she felt no regret.
