Real-Life Women Who Inspired World War II Screen Heroines

Some of the brave women you see in movies about World War II are based on real people.

World War II was a very big war that happened in the past.

During that war, many real women were very brave.

Some of them were spies, which means they secretly helped their country.

Others were resistance fighters, who worked in secret to fight against the enemy.

These women took huge risks and put themselves in danger.

Many years later, movie makers learned about these women and their amazing stories.

They used those true stories to create characters for war films.

That is why some heroines on screen remind us of real women who really lived.
