Nancy Wake is an Australian-made mini-series portraying the wartime exploits of Nancy Wake, one of the most decorated Allied servicewomen during World War II. Born in New Zealand, Nancy Wake (Noni Hazlehurst) was living in Marseilles with her French industrialist husband, Henri Fiocca (John Waters), when World War II broke out in Europe. She became a leading figure in the French Resistance and earned the nickname "The White Mouse", though her notoriety led to the Gestapo placing 5-million franc price on her head. After training with the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in England, she parachuted back into France in early 1944 and organized a group of more than 7,000 local Maquisards to fight the Germans.
The following weapons can be seen in the Australian miniseries Nancy Wake (1987):
