Madeleine Riffaud celebrated her 20th birthday in 1944 by capturing 80 Nazis, says Sam Roberts in The New York Times. The Resistance fighter and 3 comrades ambushed a supply train, they pelted it with grenades and fireworks, trapped the Germans in a tunnel. She had joined France’s resistance 4 years earlier, after a German officer kicked her to the floor. She died last month aged 100. When she was 19, she volunteered for a mission to kill a Nazi soldier in retaliation for a German massacre.
