Скачать или смотреть NANCY WAKE: The Gestapo hunted her for 2 years — SHE CYCLED 500KM PAST THEM

The Gestapo had been hunting her for two years. They had a name for her — The White Mouse. They had five million francs on her head. More than they were offering for most Allied generals. And on a clear afternoon in the summer of 1944, the most wanted woman in Nazi-occupied France cycled past their checkpoint, smiled at their soldier, and kept pedaling. She had been riding for over sixty hours. She had hundreds of kilometers still ahead of her. And if she stopped — if she was caught — seven thousand people would die.

Her name was Nancy Wake. She was thirty-two years old. She was a New Zealand-born journalist who had watched a man being beaten on a street in Vienna in 1933 and written in her notebook: "anything in my power." Over the next twelve years, she found out exactly what that meant. It meant helping nearly two thousand Allied soldiers escape through the Pyrenees without a single capture. It meant being recruited by British intelligence, trained in explosives and combat, and parachuted back into occupied France in the middle of the night. It meant commanding a guerrilla army of seven thousand men in the mountains of the Auvergne. And it meant cycling five hundred kilometers alone through enemy checkpoints in seventy-two hours — carrying a secret about her husband that she could not yet afford to feel.

This is the true story of Nancy Wake — the most decorated Allied servicewoman of World War Two, the woman the Gestapo called The White Mouse because she always slipped away, and the woman who only discovered what her husband had sacrificed for her when the war was already over. You'll discover her escape networks, her parachute drop into occupied France, the 500km bicycle ride that saved seven thousand lives, and what the radio operator in Châteauroux told her when she finally arrived.
