How badass was Nancy Wake? She once killed an SS soldier with her bare hands. She worked her way up to #1 on the Gestapo’s most wanted list. Think about that for a second, out of everyone the Nazi’s were trying to kill or capture during WWII, Nancy made the top slot. After she finally escaped through the Pyrenees to Spain on her sixth attempt she went to Britain, trained as an SOE operative, then parachuted back into Nazi occupied France to organize the Maquis for D-day. If there was an award for allied MVP she’d have won it seven years in a row.
