However, she hid handguns in the bikes, and would stop by busy places where Nazi soldiers would hangout. She would seduce, then lead the official away from public eye, typically towards allies or woods. Freddie would then use the hidden handgun to execute the unexpecting soldiers.

Her mother then influenced the two to join the Dutch Resistance, where they worked to destroy railways and bridges used for captured Jewish transportation. 
This later led to her, Truus, and Hannie joining forces to smuggle children, seduce and shoot Nazi officials, and continuing to blow up the bridges and railways. 
The group (specifically Freddie) was mostly known for their acts of seducing and luring the officials for their murder.]]> 2022-05-23 16:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/yesfather/googoogaagaa/wish/2196140832 yesfather https://padlet.com/yesfather/googoogaagaa/wish/2196142292 Freddie holding on of the guns she used to execute the Nazi officials.]]> 2022-05-23 16:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/yesfather/googoogaagaa/wish/2196142292 Freddie's Impact yesfather https://padlet.com/yesfather/googoogaagaa/wish/2196145333  It was only in 2014 that Freddie was really recognized for her efforts during the resistance.
