Very early #OnThisDay, 30 April 1944, New Zealander Nancy Wake parachutes into occupied France to be a courier for the Special Operations Executive. The British SOE supported French Resistance to Nazi occupation.
Couriers like Wake would take messages and materials such as explosives, guns or grenades around the patch their network covered.
Nick-named 'the white mouse' by the Gestapo, she's never captured. She died in 2011.
