If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that the Nazis were the absolute fucking worst.
Dutch young women Hannie, Freddie and Truus knew this better than most. They spent many of their young years under Nazi occupation.
The good news? The Nazis probably hated these sweet-faced resistance fighters even more than the girls hated the Nazis.
They toted guns in their bicycle baskets and batted their lashes to distract Nazi’s while others carried out their guerilla resistance, and so much more. The horror of the Nazi regime lived with the women for years.
This week, we tell you their story.
