- The Dutch Teenage Girls who Seduced and Brutally Killed the Nazis - Freddie & Truus Oversteegen. The 10th of May, 1940, World War 2, the Netherlands. Nazi Germany invades Holland and the German Air Forces - the Luftwaffe - use paratroopers in the capture of tactical points and to assist in the advance of ground troops across the country. The invasion is accompanied by heavy aerial bombardment of Rotterdam and culminates on the 14th of May with the destruction of its entire historic center. Because the Germans threaten to bomb the city of Utrecht in the same way, the Dutch forces surrender one day later. Soon after the Nazis start to occupy the whole country and pass new anti-Jewish laws which are designed to exclude Jewish people from society and restrict their livelihood. The systematic deportations of Dutch Jews to death camps start in July 1942. However, because some Dutch citizens cannot bear to see what is happening to their country and people, they join the resistance. Among them are two sisters who will become known for resisting the German occupation and killing the Nazis. Their names are Truus and Freddie Oversteegen.
Truus Oversteegen was born on 29 August 1923 in Schoten, the Netherlands. Her younger sister Freddie was born 2 years later on the 6th of September 1925 and the sisters lived with their parents on a barge. The sisters grew up in a socially aware household and their mother, a communist, had a strong intolerance for injustice. When their parents divorced, the girls stayed with their mother and were raised in a small apartment in the city of Haarlem. The family lived in poverty and slept on improvised mattresses stuffed with straw. They were taught compassion for those less fortunate than themselves and the sisters would often share the same bed to spare the other one for the Jewish refugees from Germany that were regularly housed in their small apartment.
World War 2 started on the 1st of September 1939. On the 10th of May 1940 Germany invaded the Netherlands. Soon after a civil administration was installed under the SS auspices and Arthur Seyss-Inquart was appointed Reich Commissar of the Netherlands. Among his first step were a series of laws posing economic discriminations against the Jews. Soon after the occupation, a commander of the Haarlem Council of Resistance knocked on the Oversteegen’s door and asked their mother if the girls could join the underground fight against the Nazis and she agreed. At the time Truus was 16 years old and Freddie was only 14. In an interview in 2016 Freddie recalled the horrifying moments following the German occupation saying: ‘“I remember how people were taken from their homes, the Germans were banging on doors with the butts of their rifles - that made so much noise, you'd hear it in the entire neighborhood. And they would always yell - it was very frightening.”
On the 22nd and 23rd of February 1941, German forces raided the Jewish Quarter in Amsterdam, arresting and deporting more than 400 Jewish men to the Buchenwald and Mauthausen concentration camps. The Dutch people’s reaction was unique among the Nazi-occupied Europe: they organized the February Strike, a two-day general strike, which started on the 25th of February 1941. German officials brutally suppressed the strike. This action was followed by a hardening of Nazi policy. The German authorities as well as collaborating Dutch authorities and civil services segregated Jews from the general Dutch population and incarcerated 15,000 of them in German-administered forced-labor camps. The Germans then ordered the concentration of Jews in Amsterdam and sent foreign and stateless Jews to the Westerbork transit camp in the northeast part of the country. Some of the remaining provincial Jews were sent to the Vught camp.
The sign ‘Forbidden for Jews’ appeared on the doors and gates of cafes, swimming pools, sports fields, museums, zoos, libraries, theatres, markets and many other public places. Jews had to hand over their valuables, and their businesses were confiscated.

“Brutal killing” of Germans? should be Heroic women who fought the brutal Germans!
well that was one way of ignoring the entire video and only focusing on the title, great job
Yes, it's awful how people misuse words like that.
Exactly my thoughts!
So right, shame on this channel
@@cheapbruh9778"Ignoring the entire video"??? He called them HEROIC WOMEN, which is what the video is all about, you fool.
Long live the memory of Freddie and Truus and all the other brave Dutch resistance fighters, what an amazing story!
I was told this story by a Dutch friend.
Her mum grew up during the war in a house with two sisters. During the German occupation, in the middle of a very cold winter, one of the sisters became ill and started to deteriorate. There was little prospect of summoning a doctor or getting her to hospital. The girls slept in the same bed and put their poorly sister in the middle, where she could get the warmth from the two others' bodies and where they could keep an eye on her. Despite this, she died and her parents contacted the authorities. They were told to leave the body outside so that she could be collected and dumped in a mass grave.
The parents, understandably, didn't want to do such a thing. Her father worked as a carpenter, and took wood from his and his wife's bed to make her a beautiful coffin which they decided to bury at the back of their apartment. The garden was enclosed by the backs of other apartments, so it would have been easy for them to be seen, which is why they decided to do it later at night. Unfortunately, the ground was frozen hard and, no matter how hard they struck it with the shovel, they couldn't break it open. Worse yet, they had been overheard and lights were going on in other apartments.
Nobody in the family knew what to do and were sure that the Germans would be alerted, but people from the other apartments came along with coats over their nightclothes and quietly helped them dig a hole and bury their daughter. When they were finished, the people went back inside, still in complete silence, and nothing was said to the German or Dutch authorities.
And I have another story - sorry for the long post.
A friend of my grandma's had a husband who was in the Parachute Regiment and who parachuted into Holland as part of the ill-fated Arnhem campaign. He was due to travel to a regimental reunion about forty years afterwards, but died before he could make the trip. She sewed his Parachute Regiment crest onto her own blazer and went out in his memory. The Dutch hotel refused to let her pay for her stay and every restaurant she ate at wouldn't take any money, because they knew her husband had been a hero.
So, to all the Dutch people, from here in the UK, I send my love, thanks and admiration.
Thank you for these two very interesting stories. As that generation dies off, I can't help but wonder how many other stories will be forever unknown. 😢💔
@@longwhitemane My impression is that loads of them will be, and that it doesn't matter. A huge number of people were - and are - out there doing good because it's the right thing to do, and there's something out about that I like. Like these women. They weren't doing it for any other reason than that it was right.
Wonderful post! Thank you for sharing these stories.
It blew me away when I heard it. The kind of thing that stays with you for a long time later and made me think how impossibly brave and single-minded ordinary folks can be.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful stories!
RIP Hannie, Truus, and Freddie. It is great to hear the sisters survived the war.
They did not, Hannie was interrogated and executed weeks before end of the war
@@emmen0 : The commentor typed "It is great to hear the sisters survived the war." The 'sisters' survived.
The bravery of some is astonishing. Sophie Scholl and the Red Rose spring to mind. But anyone who stood up to the Nazis deserve medals.
I believe the Scholl's group was the White Rose but otherwise I agree with you. May they all rest in peace and may they never be forgotten. Nie wieder. Never again.
They refused to kill children ...Should the IDF learn something from them?
Correction : "The white Rose"
@@georgesly Yes "The White Rose" in german: "Die weise Rose"
although sophie, whom i love, only stood up when it was clear the war was being lost. she stood up to save German lives, no one elses...
Heroism of the very highest order. Their bravery was absolutely stunning, and we in Europe should always remember these amazing young Girls.
Heroism? They were communists. Do you need to be reminded what their fellow communists were doing to Orthodox Christians and Poles for 20 years before WW2 even started?
I have no love for communists. And must I point out that not all German soldiers were N*zis!
I have no love for c*mmunists. And must I point out the fact that not all German soldiers were N*z*s!
@@jackprecip5389 So what? When you fight evil, doesn't matter who you are - only what you achieve.
@@atikva3804 So under your logic, the Nazi's were heroes for fighting the evils of Marxism, Communism, and Bolshevism?
No matter how many times I hear about these wonderful ladies I'm amazed at their bravery and ingenuity .
I prefer Dutch Gouda cheese with a side serving of bread rolls and pickles..
@@mickeypip1524 Which mental institution did you escape from?
May the memory of Hannie, Truus and Freddie be a blessing ❤
as a dutch boy born after the war and migrated to Australia with my large family in1956 i am truly humbled and proud of what my country men and women did during the war for the greater good of mankind.
Are you also proud of the thousands of Dutch volunteers who joined the SS?
@mercomania yes, why not. More Dutch fought for the Germans then against. 40k fought on the Eastern front alone.
true heroism
Ήταν το καθήκον να αντισταθούν για την Πατρίδα τους Όπως έγινε και με τους Έλληνες. Τα χαιρετίσματα μου στην Ολλανδία από την Μακεδονία Ελλάδα 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
To be a hero, one need not belong to a great nation. I too salute them.
RIP Hannie, Truss, and Freddie. May your legacies live on forever. Thank you World History channel!
These two sisters should be hailed as heroes and remembered for ever
Fear is natural. Courage is a decision. Amazing.
I don't know why this video doesn't have more views. These women should be known and remembered across the world. Where are the movies made about these women? why haven't I heard about them? Absolute legends.
My guess, because they were women and Dutch and possibly communists. Women fighting and killing, equal to men, was not a popular idea. Nor were communists, and the Dutch aren't in general too bothered about the past and heros, with a few exceptions. Internationally when people think WWII resistance, they think France and not "Collaborating" ( as it is often viewed) Netherlands. Oh and lastly, because they survived. We Dutch usually only put dead people on pedestals ( literally and figurativelly). In the past anyway.
Thanks for the input@@ttaibe , interesting and informative perspective! I guess I'm still confused as to why more of the international community hasn't caught onto this story. Today people absolutely froth for stories about unlikely women heroes, especially those living in a time when these roles were seen as being reserved for men. Although the current mainstream feminism movement has drifted pretty far from its original purpose (very unfortunately in my opinion at least), it's still one that grabs every opportunity to highlight and celebrate cases like this. Wonder why today it hasn't got much attention (yet, I hope)?
@@ttaibe extra thought, I would think that the very fact that the Dutch were seen as collaborators would make this story even more compelling? taking a brave, controversial and risky stand agains the grain...
@@Kate-mr4pp Maybe, Thing is the Dutch weren't collaborators. They are just as such after the war.
because they are not american or english or french. Small ,not so interesting country for Hollywood.
There must have been women like them in the other occupied countries.
Surely those two ladies will never be forgotten! They were born having a purpose and carried it till death.
As a Canadian, I proudly salute them
I don't think these two brave girls were born with this intention. They did what they had to do to survive and help fellow Jews.
Open Borders for lsraeI right? Surely you're against all types of xenophobia and racism right? Open borders for all non-white countries.
@@republitarian484Seems like you have an open border to your mouth, all the stupid is falling out.
As a dutch i never heard of them... This is not what they want to teach u in school rebelliousness
@@jeroen7716 onzin! dat jij iets niet weet zegt niets. Truus Oversteegen is heel bekend.
The heroism of the two girls is like a beacon of light in History's Darkest Times. From India, huge respects and may you both Bravehearts, rest in everlasting peace❤❤
As an American you can only wish that you could have the courage those two displayed. I salute them with utmost appreciation!
We will rise up, as our brave ancestors did. Fear not!!!!
Unless one has lived in an enemy occupied country, it's difficult to understand. Courage rises and overcomes fear. Many small European countries have been occupied on and off for hundreds of years, from the Romans onwards. It's citizens "exported" as slaves. Such experiences go, over time, towards shaping a country. Building strength within it's people. That's why MANY small European countries are STRONG and courageous. More so than other, large countries in the world..
@@jegsthewegs The US is now occupied by commies....many of them.....from hollyweird to DC...
You mean like the Americans who liberated Europe including the Netherlands?
Agreed
Thank you to all 3 women for having the courage to do what many would not.
Tears were also shed for Hannie Schaft
As a Dutchman myself, I thank all those who fought for freedom. I am not man (or woman) enough to fight for my country. Both of my Dutch grandparents had roles in the war. My Opa (grandpa) worked in the Resistance and helped distribute food stamps to those in the most impoverished areas of Utrecht and my Oma (grandma) helped hide people in the attic behind a fake wall, especially after the destruction of centre of Rotterdam. Hup Holland hup!!!
Amazing! God bless them all
Bravo to your grandparents.
Hello dan ook the U S army bedanken the Britten de Polen den Nooren de Canadians bedanken die Holland hebben bevrijd, ook de Noorsen en the Belgain commando s die Walcheren hebben bevrijd ook bedanken de Belgische brigaden Piron die in september 1944 Ophoven Wessem Thorn hebben bevrijd en zo verder naar de duitse grens , grts
Ouma en oupa om op trots te wees,hulle is helde
I went to your country to work. Got injured and wound up homeless. I will forever hate the Dutch
My great aunt also took a man who was crazy about her into the woods. There some men were waiting and shot him dead. He was a collaborator.
That is some proper girl power!
Amen! I love this! God bless them. So sad about the red haired girl. All three will be in heaven.
God Bless them
Indeed! What amazing young women! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
When it comes eliminating nazis, the ends justify the means.
Proud and thankful for what these awesome women did.
As a Dutch person I'am thankful to the channel for spreading the story of our national heroines😁🇳🇱
And look at Europe and the West now. Maybe WWII isn't the great victory you've been led to believe.
@@republitarian484 assuming yr american...youve lost every war since your own civil war. WW1 and 2 the USA were part of the allies and cannot claim sole victory. Especially in WW2. No red army from the east, no Victory... So calm down.
@@romo9122 . . . the B0Isheviks won WWII. The "victory" in WWII isn't working out too well for the West. Look at England and France. . . a far fall from where they used to be and on top of that they're being replaced by "POCs".
@@romo9122 . . .you're not that bright are you?
It is such a shame that such dishonour is done to the brave Dutch Resistance by such a cheap production as this where totally unrelated pictures are paraded before us. This is a common feature on these videos. There are many unrelated pictures on this video but perhaps, the most notable is 9.58-10.05 The narration is about an execution by firing squad yet the pictures are of a guillotine, the German method of judicial execution ..... SO ... did Hanne die by firing squad or by beheading ..... or was she just shot?
As it happens, I know, so, for any in doubt, after 4 weeks of interrogation and torture (I am sure that I do not need to elaborate), the purpose of the torture was not mindless, it was hoped that she would spill the beans on others in the Resistance, it appears that she did not, on the 17th April 1945, she was taken out into the coastal dunes in the vicinity of Bloemendaal by two characters, Mattheus Schmitz and Maarten Kuiper. (hardly a firing squad). I don't have any imformation on Mattheus, but Maarten was a Dutch Nazi who was responsible for Jew-hunting and he was very successful at it. He was responsible for uncovering many Jews in hiding. He had a reputation for being particularly brutal during interrogations. Being Dutch, he was able to pick up things that may have gone over the heads of Germans. The two of them took Hanne out onto the dunes. Mattheus attempted to shoot Hanne in the head but botched it so Maaten finished the job, so he later said, with a burst from a machine gun. Hanne is buried in Bloemendaal.
I don't know where the piece of script at 10.09 comes from but some of it is rubbish. She was arrested distributing copies of a communist newspaper, "de Waarheid" (The Truth) which was a front for distributing imformation to other resistance workers. If she had a pistol, she would have used it. She had done it in a tight spot before and she had no illusions about what would follow arrest. She would have taken at least one of the bastards with her. She was NOT forced to wash her hair.. They didn't know who they had. Another Resistance worker, Anna Wijnhoff, under torture, betrayed Hanne. Anna might not even have known what she had done but the Nazis twigged. It was then that the Nazis restrained Hanne and looked at the ROOTS of her DYED hair.
The narrator has a major problem with English grammar. He said time after time "would". NO ! HE or she "DID" etc.
For instance, not, "She would go", but "She went" .
That Generation is considered The Greatest Generation! These Incredible Young Women are perfect examples of it! Rest In Peace 🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Those young girls had more guts than most men. ~Kevin
Too often do you hear the words "stunning and brave" these days. These two youngsters, really were. In the teeth of one of the most brutal regimes in modern history, these ladies and their compatriots in the resistance show the true meaning of courage.
Their stories need to be more widely shared, they deserve the highest honours possible.
Thanks for sharing the tales of the wonderful girls!
Thank You, Freddie & Truus Oversteegen, Hannie Schaft et al 💐Your memory is a blessing 🕯
Heroism as women who made a huge difference. Thank you for your service and your resistance to this brutal and SICK regime
Makes me very proud because i am Dutch too and my grandmother was Jewish for a little part. She never was taken away though, she had a lot of luck...thanks for the very interesting video. 🔝🔝
Luck? No. That was the Living God's Hand.

Wonderful ladies in WW11 in Holland joining the Resistance Movement risking their lives in the
cause of freedom......I was born in 1938 and well understand their bravery.
That was truly interesting, thank you. I found it sweet and ironic that Truus and Freddie were born two years apart and passed that way.
Such courage during a very traumatic time period. We all can learn from these brave souls.
Wow, I’m in awe of these teenage heroines’ courage and sacrifice in defending their country. Im glad they got away with it and went on to have families and survive to a ripe old age together.
Thank you for this story that I had never heard before! Those sisters were true heroes and their story deserves to live forever!!
Corrie Ten Boom's story in The Hiding Place was profoundly heroic. She chose the path of self sacrifice and saved so many without murder.
The nazies murders tit for tat
A page in history that speaks volumes about the courage and strength of unsung hero's.Your dedication is quietly effective.
Such courage. It is worth remembering that hardly any Nazis were punished after the war and how many Russians died during the war
Truus en Freddie were and still are true heroes. The strength and courage of the Dutch people during WWII should never be forgotten. This Belgian-American salutes you.
Tremendous bravery from 3 ladies who fought against terrible men.
These videos are so great. As my granddaughter grows and asks questions, it’s important to have stories like these to really understand the era, and inspire her and her friends with real heroes.
They LIVED & their lives mattered. What an inspiration to all to stand for your convictions. God bless them - all three. I am pleased to learn of this heroism and determination. Godspeed. 😊❤😊
*_It is a surprise to learn that there were many tears shed for Freddie and Truus Oversteegen since they both survived the war and lived productively into old age._*
Well they might be a very creepy place for good......
I read a story about these sisters and a friend of theirs, "Three Ordinary Girls." Outstanding story. I highly recommend it.
In the horrors of war… simple bits of bravery need to be lauded.
True, but there were no simple bits of bravery in this story. More like gigantic bits.
A true dictum for all!
I'm very surprised Quentin Tarantino didn't incorporate this story into his epic WW2 film, Inglorious Basterds. Would've been a brilliant plot twist.
How brave these young girls were and their mother so many people were murdered by the Nazis just because of their race or religion if they were my daughter's I would be immensely proud of them another great video thankyou
by the germans!
3 unsung heroes I’d not heard of; I’m thankful for what they did to fight the tyrannical nazis. They did make a difference. 👍👍
we were occupied by GERMANS . not only nazis !!!
We really do not understand what so many went through under the damn Nazi’s. I solute the brave young women who stood up against tyranny on behalf of the innocent.
the rotten GERMANS!
thank you for telling us about these 3 wonderful ladies.
Thank you for your kind words and watching us
Excellent video, thanks a lot. These brave ladies shouldn't be forgotten.
The story brought tears to my eyes. Great humanitarians. Heroes true and true!
Humanitarians don't execute and assassinate people.
May more emulate their heroism in reisting would-be dictatorships in the world today, such as the Taliban, etc.!
@@valueanglesLike blow up a pipeline for climate?
Your snarky comeback shows poor comprehension or compassion. @@wolfgangpagel6989
There is always heroism in war but for it to be done by civilians is even more impressive as it inspires others to follow.
Truly remarkable women. Their bravery is an example to us all.
These three women are exceptional. The courage you had to have, while knowing that at the slightest mistake, it's torture and then death, is incredible. What an admirable example.. When we witness, in many countries, including France and Belgium (my countries), the systematic erosion of our freedoms, the hatred of "the other".. We must rethink these women.
I can not imagine the challenges they endured in this unremarkable brave assault on fascism. Their principles and beliefs allowed them peace, I believe, to move forward in concern for others over their own lives - others speak of this and/or present this value, but when the lights are turned on disappear. I should also add, this was an act that represents the greatest of sacrifice for humanity. Much appreciated!!
That was a wonderful vid. Such bravery and dedication. Thank you.
Three badass young ladies with principles. They were the Greatest Generation... we stand on the shoulders of giants.
There were many tears shed for these brave women! AMEN TO THAT!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I have similar stories about these women. Doing something that invites death is true bravery.
This is an incredible story. Thank you for sharing it! ❤❤
Our pleasure!
Hats off to the Oversteegen sisters for their bravery in hiding Jews andher persecuted groups from the evil Nazis and their collaborators. They also risked their lives by killing many Nazi soldiers and officers. Thank you for this eye-opening video of a little-known chapter in WW2.
Not nazis : Germans---germans---germans !!!
They were truly wonderful people who no doubt helped save many lives. Real heroes.
What's wrong with you? Teenage girls who become judge & jury and murder women in the woods "they decide" are guilty are truly wonderful people & real heroes. Soldiers on the front lines in hand to hand combat were nothing compared to your "real heroes"?
My goodness, such a touching video 😢 What brave girls they all were ❤
Thank you to the World History team & narrator 🙏 Your research and hard work is second to none ❤🥰🇸🇬
Peace and Light to the Sisters and Honey’s Spirits. May we all have the courage to do the right thing.
It took so much Strength to keep struggling to Survive! And so much Strength, and Courage to fight the Nazis! Incredibly Brave! 🥀🥀🥀🥀🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
GERMANS!
Humbling. We owe our freedoms to women and men like these most of whom are forgotten hero's. It's important we never forget or history could repeat itself.
How someone could harm a baby or child is beyond me. Evil
When you think that your life is rough...just think about what these people went through.
Hannie Schaft is a hero.
This story deserves to be told on the big screen. It has everthing people want to see. It looks like there was some prodicion called "Rebels" a while ago, but there is very little info about it and haven't found a platform that streams it. I'm not sure why this hasn't been greenlighted.
Good idea. It took decades until the 80s for Oscar Schindler's story to be told, and all thanks to Leo Pfefferberg in LA who finally talked Thomas Kenneally into writing Schindler's Ark which Spielberg used. So many important stories that young people need to know.
There is a 1981 film about Hannie Schaft called "Het meisje met het rode haar" ("The Girl with the Red Hair").
@matthewbittenbender9191 2 movies were made :Truus and Hannie feature in the novel. “ The Assault “ (De Aanslag, 1982) by Harry Mulisch, also released as a movie directed by Fons Rademakers.
Ineke Verdoner wrote a song about her.
Author Theun de Vries wrote a biography of their lives , which has inspired the movie The Girl with the Red Hair
I'm totally impressed by these young girls. Thank you for sharing this story.
Amazing ladies. I knew the story but of course you add more details. Thank you.
A wonderful story about truly magnificent women.
So very brave & decent like their Mum.
The Vietnamese have a story about 2 Sisters too, Hai Ba Trung.
They fought bravely too.
Keep stacking them up.
Trots op onze helden, rust in vrede . Proud of our heroes , rest in peace
It is because of sacrifices given by brave souls like these three that we enjoy the freedoms today that we so take for granted.
How wonderful they made it! An unusual but heart rendering surprise, as very few made it.
What HEROIC WOMEN. May they rest in peace. Amen. Thank you for sharing. Amen.
This story needs to be made into a movie..
We love strong women 💪 ❤️
May the deeds of the Oversteegen sisters continue to echo in eternity. A good movie director could make a great film about them. 2:21

Incredible story! This should be a film.
There’s a Dutch movie about this, called “het meisje met de rode haren.”.
Good for these two brave females ... I take my hat off to ya's!
But, on the other hand ... the Nederlandsche SS (Dutch SS) which was formed on September 11, 1940 was a Dutch branch of the SS. On November 1, 1942 the name was changed to Germansche SS in Nederland (Germanic SS in the Netherlands). The Nederlandsche SS in total eventually counted about 25,000 members (see below) and was primarily a political formation. In addition it served as a reservoir for the Waffen-SS. They dressed in black uniforms that were based on those of the German SS. The Belgians and French had their own SS based on the German SS and reporting to them!
Yes. But that is not the point here.
So you are one of those who are afraid to seem too positive about your country
in case one might think you are too nationalistic.
I am dutch and I know that we do not approve of this. I don t either .
But why hasten to add that there were many ---no-good---people too ?
Surely everyone knows , or will realise , this .
@@olgabartels2879 you say it is not the point here, it is MY point… sorry that you don’t like it … tough! This is my other channel that came up when I replied to you using my iPhone and I doubt that all Dutch people are aware of this fact regarding the Dutch SS.

@@hellohey Please, if you find its English version, share it with us. Thanks
Two beautiful people that did so much out of kindness of their heart to even people that word of their own kind that's what I called compassion and love
