Freddie Overseegen, dead at 92. Seduced Nazis, lured them to woods and shot them

This is really worth a read. An incredible story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/freddie-oversteegen-dutch-resistance-fighter-who-killed-nazis-through-seduction-dies-at-92/2018/09/16/7876eade-b9b7-11e8-a8aa-860695e7f3fc_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1a1452a91408
She was 14 when she joined the Dutch resistance, though with her long, dark hair in braids she looked at least two years younger.

When she rode her bicycle down the streets of Haarlem in North Holland, firearms hidden in a basket, Nazi officials rarely stopped to question her. When she walked through the woods, serving as a lookout or seductively leading her SS target to a secluded place, there was little indication that she carried a handgun and was preparing an execution.

The Dutch resistance was widely believed to be a man’s effort in a man’s war. If women were involved, the thinking went, they were likely doing little more than handing out anti-German pamphlets or newspapers.

Yet Freddie Oversteegen and her sister Truus, two years her senior, were rare exceptions — a pair of teenage women who took up arms against Nazi occupiers and Dutch “traitors” on the outskirts of Amsterdam. With Hannie Schaft, a onetime law student with fiery red hair, they sabotaged bridges and rail lines with dynamite, shot Nazis while riding their bikes, and donned disguises to smuggle Jewish children across the country and sometimes out of concentration camps.

In perhaps their most daring act, they seduced their targets in taverns or bars, asked if they wanted to “go for a stroll” in the forest — and “liquidated” them, as Ms. Oversteegen put it, with a pull of the trigger.

“We had to do it,” she told one interviewer. “It was a necessary evil, killing those who betrayed the good people.” When asked how many people she had killed or helped kill, she demurred: “One should not ask a soldier any of that.

I was surprized it was the first time I'd heard this story. Here is her and her sister, who worked together to kill these Nazis. Freddie is on the left.

Not those krauts were desperate for Pussy because neither of these sisters is a looker. Maybe with 10 beers in me I might let them blow me.

Unlike the Nazis and Gameboy I would have waited till they were both 18.

The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times.

You would have followed them into the forest, been shot in the head, buried, then grown sprouts.

Re: Freddie Overseegen, dead at 92. Seduced Nazis, lured them to woods and shot

It seems like you think they’d have wanted to do that.

'The female of the species is more deadly than the male'..

Re: Freddie Overseegen, dead at 92. Seduced Nazis, lured them to woods and shot

Most women do this.

Re: Freddie Overseegen, dead at 92. Seduced Nazis, lured them to woods and shot

I wonder if they will ever make a movie about this or if the story is just too messed up.

Death by irony is always painful

Well, this is a tomb. I'll make them feel at home
