(1,674 posts)13. Edith Piaf was a very brave woman.
During the Second World War she and her band would entertain allied soldiers in German POW camps. She would take group pictures of the prisoners and enlarge some faces and make fake ID cards, then the next time she visited there would be 18 people in her group going into the camp but 23 people leaving it. The Germans never caught on to it.

(1,674 posts)15. I admire her greatly too.
She sometimes entertained the German guards too and, singing in French, she would change the lyrics of her songs and call the Nazis murdering pigs to their faces.
