The teenage Dutch girls who seduced and killed Nazis - BBC REEL

During World War Two, the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands turned three teenage girls into fierce resistance fighters. Truus Oversteegen, Freddie Oversteegen and Hannie Schaft have been remembered for their technique of luring collaborators into the forest for them to be executed.

It is by no means legal now, but they really did love each other and went on to be together for decades until he passed away. So it really is a matter of custom at times.

We were taught about the things we did in Indonesia but sadly the information was very mild/ they probably didn't even tell half of the things that happened to the people there (only how cruel the Japanese were, as if we weren't cruel wtf) . I didn't even really know Suriname was a Dutch colony until I had to do an assignement about subcultures in the Netherlands! The things I learned about Suriname and how they got their independence and what happend after shocked me and made me feel deeply ashamed as a Dutch person and I had to learn it by myself because it isn't in any history schoolbook. I also feel deeply ashamed about the colonisation of Indonesia too. I do wish they would put all the information, the GOOD and the NEGATIVE things in the history schoolbooks that are important for us to know and that they wouldn't act like it didn't happen or that we weren't that bad, because we did these things and they WERE BAD!

They had no choice but to leave. The Netherlands offered them safety and stays, but in stead they fired all the military people on the way back home, leaving them with nothing when they arrived in the Netherlands. No pride, no job, no homes. They even put them in old concentration camps because there was no place for them. Imagine the racism they must have faced. The thought that they would get back to their country one day as the Netherlands promised. They never followed their dreams, because they thought they'd get back someday, but they never did.

    I hate how there’s still people out there criticizing her morals and claiming that she was not brave and just a monster. If she was a man going to war everyone would praise her, but not a woman who fights back against a nazi invasion. Heck, even if she was just a man leading a resistance her legacy would be treated better than it is with her being a woman. So if a woman fights and kills in battle she’s morally corrupt, but if a man fights and kills in battle he’s brave and a hero? The only difference between men and woman are their physical bodies, which have to cooexist for reproduction. It’s basic biology. Try to tell me female and male brains are different and I’ll tell you to go research and find the actual differences. There are few.

    This is all factually accurate except for “female and male brains/bodies [aren’t] different”. For example we see the inverse bell curves commonly associated with male and female intelligence levels. Women are also biologically endowed with much higher levels of empathy and child rearing skills, while men typically have much less empathy and are more objective oriented. There are also some other distinct differences in the bodies of men and women, with men having significantly higher levels of muscle mass in all areas of the body where as women tend to have less. Though it may be harder for a women to lift as many pounds as a man or harder for a man to find great joy in child raising as many women do, it should be up to oneself to decide what they want to do even is it is made harder due to biological factors. Again, not to say any of the message of what you saying is wrong, but there are many distinct differences between men and women’s bodies and there is a beauty in all of those differences.

I also don’t deny female and male bodies are different, but I truly don’t believe that beyond their physical bodies they are any different.

You will still find uncaring women and empathetic men, but those are usually accepted as outliers, not that they don’t exist but are more rare. As society diverges from its original hunter gatherer roots, we’ll see more changes in the empathy levels of both genders to approach neutrality as women do more work outside of the home and men spend more time with kids. From an evolutionary standpoint it was very useful to have one person raise children and one person hunt, and so, evolution gave more women higher empathy and more men goal oriented thinking, as this produced the highest level of offspring.

    @UpSideДown ideology? Please tell me which committed political ideologue wouldn't kill for the cause? Ideology isn't the problem. Ideology carried to extremes is and it's what causes even nominally good people to kill. Look at what occurred in Washington on 5 January. These were purported supporters of capitalism and de ocracy but they revealed a willingness to kill their opponents. When I worked in the former Soviet Union I met quite a few former members of the Communist Party and none of them revealed a willingness to kill over policy. I've seen my share of religious extremists and no one faith has a monopoly. Unless any armchair historian has specific information regarding the depth of this young woman's political sympathies then you're only perpetuating opinions that you've been taught: communism bad. Take a careful look at what system it replaced then justufy your opinion. I don't find communists any more or less distasteful than fascists. Nazis and Stalinists however were and are the slim of humanity. Few committed socialists and not all communist sympathesizers, even in the 1930s and 40s, were committed to Stalin ideology. Unless this girl left us some political manifesto the depth of her commitment is pointless speculation. OSS willing accepted services from committed communists: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The dutchman's wife answered the door. The soldiers asked " is Wilhelm home?" The wife responded " yes." Just then the gentleman appeared at the Top of the stairs. Are you mr devries ? The germans asked. Yes"" he replied. Then they shot him to death. Leaving his wife alone. To raise their 7 young children. His crime? It was rumored he had spoken against hitler. It wasnt even fact. Just a rumour. My dad also told me that an ally plane had been shot down and the pilots needed assistance. My dad said the dutch citizens tried to help but were prevented from assisting the ally planes pilots and passengers by German soldiers on the ground. Who actually laughed while the occupants of the ally plane slowly died of their wounds. War is so terrible.

Many of those foreign fighters who fought (and still fight/work for) for the Kurds and Autonomous Administration in Rojava are anarchists, anarcho-communists, libertarian socialists etc. who were fundamentally opposed to Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, authoritarianism etc. and were drawn to Rojava for its explicitly decentralised, partly directly-democratic model of governance, called democratic confederalism, as proposed by Abdullah Ocalan. Gender-equal, environmentally aware, secular, ethnically and religiously tolerant and inclusive, highly effective against ISIS etc. Rojava is a practical miracle considering the political and ideological environment around them, the barbarity and brutality of their enemies, and a testament to the strength of will and strength of the leftist political ideals of many of the Syrian and Turkish Kurds in particular.

I speak German but could not understand anything the Dutch said, but found that a lot of written Dutch was understandable if I just pretended it was misspelled German. For example "ich" in German is "ik" in Dutch, though they don't sound the same. No disrespect to the Dutch is meant. Had I spoken Dutch and been in Germany, I would have said that German was misspelled Dutch. What was really strange was hearing the Dutch speak English with an English accent on top of their Dutch accent.

Winston Churchill - "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when the the victory will be sure and not to costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worst case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves." That is where these girls were at that time.

Not one country has always been a saint, each country has black pages in history, THOUGH the few light specs are people like Hannie schaft, that legitimately died for our freedom today, to fight oppression.

Also I was lucky to end up in Europe again when I was 15 (in the USA from 8 to then). My parents were political refugees from communist Hungary in 1956, resurrection, we lived pretty isolated, my dad was working hard. I I attended private catholic school (to be segregated..) and nobody ever taught us anything about...anything much 😂😅😒 Certainly not about Europe and WW2,... I first had to learn French coming to Switzerland, I was terribly eager to learn and to understand (no internet in those days). Now I retired and have lots of time to learn more about many things. Since I'm living in France, I hear a great deal more about WW2 and watch documentaries related to the subject. But this is a huge huge piece to master. I am deeply profoundly grateful to all the men and women who contributed to regaining our today's Freedom.

These girls were the same age as my mother, a generation that was brought up to be gentle. The bravery and fortitude of these young ladies was unquestionable and should be applauded.
