Episode 320: Hoes of History: Freddie and Truus Oversteegen and Hannie Schaft


Listen Later

As teenagers in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, sisters, Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, along with thier friend, Hannie Schaft, joined the Dutch resistance and risked everything to fight for freedom. With courage and cunning, they carried out sabotage missions, helped Jewish families escape, and even assassinated Nazi targets—all while maintaining their secret lives.

We'll explore their motivations, the challenges they faced, and the unbreakable bonds that tied them together in the face of unimaginable danger. This is not just a story of war, but of resilience, sacrifice, and the profound impact of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
