  • World War II is inarguably one of the darkest periods of human history. It can be difficult to wrap your head around the sheer number of lives lost, families separated, and cities decimated. From the ashes of destruction rise heroes - some recognized, and others deserving of recognition they never receive. Freddie Oversteegen is one of those overlooked heroes from unknown WWII stories. Once you learn about her life, you'll never forget her, and you'll also wonder why no one has made a movie about this incredible woman.

    Sooo much respect for all of them, but Hannie? I mean, wow. Tortured and beaten, but still didn't talk. About to be gunned down, soldier misses, and she throws it back at him by letting him know that she was a better shot than he was. A woman who refused to live life on her knees til the very end and never gave the Germans the satisfaction. That's a warrior right there.

    This war was won due to many factors although one of the rare ones too be talked about was civilian resistance. Normal everyday people you’d pass by at the grocery store and not think twice about that played crucial parts in bringing down the Nazi War Machine. I’m glad these women were given the honor they deserved before they died. Too many civilian heroes have gone unnoticed for their bravery in the face of oppression. I love hearing stories like these.

    These young women were simply amazing. I’m shocked that they survived the war with all the kills they had committed. You don’t usually hear men talk about how they feel about having killed a war enemy. It was very open of the sisters to say that the war was always on their minds even 50-70 years later. Mental health wasn’t really “a thing” back then, so they were left trying to cope with PTSD on their own. It looks like they pulled it together better than most people would have. And I’m glad they had each other during their extraordinarily longs lives.

It's absolutely mind boggling how much Hitler got away with before everyone realized it was too late.
      The Jews in German saw the warning signs and tried to flee. But be aware the 30s were also the Great Depression: everyone was trying to find work, everyone was trying to feed their families, and no one wanted to risk what little they had for the Jews, terrible as it sounds. Not everyone in the Netherlands turned Jews away or sent them back. My great-grandfather, Jan Kanis, hid Jewish families in his duplex home. He worked at the post office and noticed numerous death letters marked as Pnemonea. He knew what was happening and I'm certain other Dutch citizens did what they could.
      As proud as I am of my Dutch blood, I am also sad and frustrated at how shafted the Polish were. They were better pilots than the RAF, they made the prototype that would break the enigma machine and German code, they had Wojtek the 🐻; I can't praise the Polish people enough and if I had been there in that time I would be making a fuss about the Poles getting the credit they deserve.

He basically saved there lives. He also smuggled bicycles and food in ‘de honger winter’. But it is just sad that a lot of people don’t remember them even if it was a small act they risked they lives for our freedom.

      Nope, because instead of promoting stories about real heroines of the war they have to insert fake female characters with steampunk arms and have them take away the achievements of real people.
      Seriously though, I doubt this would ever become a thing, modern agendas don't like the idea of telling stories about women who use 'feminine wiles' (or women who use sex as a weapon) to achieve their objectives.

      The female collaborators were comparatively lucky, the men were tortured to death (yes, I understand that these specific women weren't collaborators, but if female resistance fighters mistakenly had their heads shaved, it's much worse for the male resistance members that cosied up to the Germans as spies).
      This is one of those situations where people acted like wild mobs, it's an unfortunately reality of humanity that people and pent up rage do not go well with each other.

A disposable very inexpensive gun was used to usually shoot him. The next thing was the resistance now had a rifle and ammunition. Now they can be shot at longer range. Remember the Germans had all the armament and all the technology. This type of thing will work today if necessary in various countries including ours.
