Freddie Nanda Dekker-Oversteegen (6 September 1925 – 5 September 2018) was a Dutch resistance member during the occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. (…) During the war, the Oversteegen family hid a Jewish couple in their home.[3] Freddie Oversteegen and her older sister Truus began handing out anti-Nazi pamphlets, which attracted the notice of Haarlem Council of Resistance commander Frans van der Wiel. With their mother’s permission, the girls joined the Council of Resistance, which brought them into a coordinated effort.[2] Freddie was fourteen years old at the time.[3][4] Oversteegen, her sister, and friend Hannie Schaft worked to sabotage the Nazi military presence in the Netherlands.[5] They used dynamite to disable bridges and railroad tracks.[6] Additionally, they aided Jewish children by smuggling them out of the country or helping them escape concentration camps.[2] The Oversteegens and Schaft also killed German soldiers, with Freddie being the first of the girls to kill a soldier by shooting them while riding her bicycle.[1][5] They also lured soldiers to the woods under the pretense of a romantic overture and then killed them.[1][5] Oversteegen would approach the soldiers in taverns and bars and ask them to “go for a stroll” in the forest.[2][5]

siehe auch: ‘Seducing and Killing Nazis’ challenges us to resist, not adapt to, fascism. The book Seducing and Killing Nazis is essential reading because there’s nothing “normal” about Nazis. From past to present, they are a group of people who support the genocide of others based on hate and the idea of “white pride.” There’s nothing “normal” about fascist regimes; they stamp out democracy and encourage suppression. Yet, in these times, allies and representatives of these ideas are being glamorized on pop culture reality shows like Dancing with the Stars, or given sympathetic profile pieces in mainstream news publications like the New York Times. Author Sophie Poldermans’s highlight of three women who dared to fight back against fascism in World War II is a bold challenge to resist instead of adapting to—and normalizing—hatred. Seducing and Killing Nazis—Hannie, Truus, and Freddie: Dutch Resistance Heroines of WWII is a non-fiction book that details the journey of three teenaged girls who faced the question: “Do we adapt or resist?” Freddie Oversteegen, Truus Oversteegen, and Hannie Schaft, while living in the Dutch city of Haarlem, made the decision to take up arms against Nazi Germany; Niederländerinnen gegen Nazis – Das tödliche Meisjes-Trio. Drei junge Frauen halfen in Haarlem Juden, flirteten mit Nazis, lockten sie in die Falle. Mit 15 erschoss Freddie Oversteegen erstmals einen deutschen Offizier. Als letzte des Trios ist die Widerstandskämpferin 2018 gestorben. Haarlem, Niederlande, 1941: Freddie Oversteegen, 15, entsichert ihre Pistole und versteckt sie in einem Korb. Sie setzt sich auf den Gepäckträger eines Fahrrads; ihre Mutter tritt in die Pedale. Die beiden nähern sich einem Nazi-Offizier, Freddie zückt die Pistole, drückt ab – und tötet den Mann. Das Drive-by-Shooting mutet an wie aus einem Quentin-Tarantino-Film, hat sich aber tatsächlich zugetragen. Freddie Oversteegen, geboren am 6. September 1925, wuchs in einer Arbeiterfamilie in Haarlem auf, einer Stadt nahe Amsterdam. Ihre Mutter Trijntje erzog Freddie und Truus, die zwei Jahre ältere Schwester, ab 1933 allein. Als die Nazis im Mai 1940 die Niederlande überfielen, versteckte die Familie ein jüdisches Ehepaar sowie eine Mutter mit Sohn, die aus Deutschland hatten fliehen müssen
