When Freddie was 14 and Truus 16, a commander of the Haarlem Council of Resistance arrived at their home and asked Trijn if the teenagers could join the underground fight against the Nazis. Their mother obliged and granted the girls permission, and the two joined the Dutch resistance fight. No one would suspect such young, beautiful women being capable of deadly skills.

They helped Jewish Refugees and they ambushed Nazi officers from their bicyclists. They didn't think that they were doing much to help out the Jews but they actually made a big impact and helped save a few lives, and made lots of Jews better because they gave them food and shelter.

In 2014, Freddie and Truus were awarded the Mobilisation War Cross (Mobilisatie-Oorlogskruis) by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for their acts of resistance during the war. There is also a street named after her in Haarlem.

They refused to reveal how many Nazis and Dutch collaborators they assassinated. Freddie would tell people, “that they were soldiers, and soldiers don't say.” - Freddie Oversteegen

"Someone taught us to shoot and we learned to march into the woods. There were about seven of us then--Hannie wasn't a part of the group yet and we were the only girls." - Freddie Oversteegen

"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." - Freddie Oversteegen

Freddi was 14 when she was an assassin for the Dutch resistance during the German occupation of the Netherlands. The teenager would ask her victims if they would like to go for a “stroll” in the woods.

Freddie, Truus and Hannie were given many risky tasks to complete, and did so impressively. Had they been caught by the Nazis or Dutch police, they would have probably been killed. In 1945, just three weeks before the war in Europe ended, the girls' best friend and fellow fighter Hannie was captured by Nazis; she was later tortured and killed.
