A note about an error: in the video, I called Nancy Wake "the most decorated servicewoman" from the Second World War. I was repeating a claim I'd found, without sources, and it turns out I can't find any; she certainly seems to be *among* the most decorated, but I'm not certain if the superlative is accurate. I apologize for the incomplete research; one way or another she was obviously extraordinary, which was of course what I wanted to communicate. Huzzah for Nancy Wake!
