She was known as the White Mouse for her uncanny ability to run rings around the Gestapo in occupied France, despite a 5m franc price on her head.
But the nickname the Nazis gave Nancy Wake – one of Churchill's most highly decorated special agents, belied her fearlessness and bravery.
With her coiffured hair and red lipstick, Wake was the epitome of glamour, but when she was dropped into occupied France she became a fighting force.
Even without a weapon, she could be deadly. During one raid she reportedly killed an SS guard with her bare hands to prevent him raising the alarm. "She is the most feminine woman I know until the fighting starts. Then she is like five men," one of her French colleagues recalled.
As a leading figure of the French resistance, credited with helping hundreds of allied soldiers escape after she was parachuted into France, Wake was among the allies' most decorated servicewomen.
The war ended in personal tragedy, however. On returning to her Marseille home after the liberation, she discovered her husband, French businessman Henri Fiocca, had been tortured and killed by the Gestapo for refusing to give her up.
Born in New Zealand, growing up in Australia Nancy lived to 98 years of age.
