"Freedom is probably the only thing worth dying for.”"

―Nancy Drake, 1942.

Nancy Grace Augusta Wake (1912 – 2011), also known as Nancy Drake, was a New Zealander nurse and journalist who became a member of the French Resistance and later the Special Operations Executive during World War II.

In 1942 while part of the French Resistance, Nancy, alongside French dancer Josephine Boulanger and partisan Reboante, assisted the Assassins Major Gallagher and The Ambassador in their infiltration mission at the Folies Bergère in German-occupied Paris. Working as a distraction, Nancy and Josephine were compromised when they were detected by a German officer named Oskar Fiedler. When Oskar came closer and drew up his Luger pistol, Nancy drew up her pistol and shot the officer in the head, blowing the undercover part of the mission. However, the resistance members, including Nancy, and the Assassins manage to accomplish the mission and escape.
