Resistance Heroines Of World War II
In this historical fiction story, three heroic young women – Freddie Oversteegen, her sister Truus Oversteegen, and Hannie Schaft – show that not only young men heeded the call to join the Dutch Resistance but also idealistic young women. Set before Freddie's death in 2018, she participates in a documentary for Dutch Television. She relates their struggles and temporary triumphs during their activities in the Dutch Resistance, directed mainly by communists.
The interview explores how the sisters were recruited and how Hannie, known as "the girl with the red hair," became part of the Resistance when she refused to take an oath to Hitler and the Nazi puppet government he installed in Holland.
The sisters were drawn into the conflicts and learned quickly how to thwart dangerous situations, including the murder of Nazi soldiers by tricking them for sex. Freddie explores the persecution of members of the Dutch Resistance over their political views and how the Dutch government blocked placement of a memorial honoring Hannie Schaft.
