“Bitte, commen sie here, handsome herr Nazi. Valk vith me in der forest, ja?” “Jawohl, beautiful fraulein. Dis Nazi ist commen.” Off into the Dutch forest they went, and then Blam! She shot that Nazi assbucket right in his fucking Nazi face.

--On This Day in History Shit Went Down: April 17, 1945--

It was three young, attractive women who were members of the Dutch Resistance. Only two of them would survive the war, but they would kill a lot of Nazis. Their names were Hannie Schaft, and sisters Freddie and Truus Oversteegen. And they were fucking heroes who used their beauty to lead Nazis by their sickly Nazi dicks to their well-deserved deaths.

Germany invaded the Netherlands in May 1940, conquering it in four days, but many remained in the fight. At the time, Freddie was only 14, Truus was 16, and Hannie 19. Freddie was the first to kill, shooting a Nazi in a drive-by on her bicycle. Also, the Oversteegen family hid a Jewish couple in their home for the entirety of the war.

Their efforts in battling fucking Nazis included sabotage of bridges and railroads using dynamite and smuggling Jewish children out of the country. They would also go into bars to meet Nazis and ask them to “go for a stroll.” Hint hint. And then, thinking he was gonna get lucky, he instead got a high-velocity metal projectile to the brain.

Hannie learned to speak German fluently to aid in her Nazi-killing efforts. She also had no mercy for collaborators or traitors. However, she drew the line at harming children. When the resistance asked her to kidnap the children of a Nazi official, she said no. Her exploits became so well-known she made the top of the Nazis’ most-wanted list as “The girl with the red hair.” So, she dyed her hair black.

The Oversteegen sisters survived the war and received numerous awards for their heroic actions. Both lived to be 92. Hannie, however, was arrested for carrying anti-Nazi propaganda through a military checkpoint in March 1945. She was repeatedly tortured but would not confess. Eventually, it was the red roots of her hair growing in that gave her away.

On April 17, 1945, with the end of World War II only a few weeks away, she was executed by a pair of Dutch Nazi traitor asshole fuckfaces. One shot her at close range, only wounding her. She spat at him, “I shoot better!” The other Nazi fucknugget shot her a second time, killing her.
