Episode Synopsis

Dutch author Sophie Poldermans wrote one of my favourite books in the last few years entitled, "Seducing & Killing Nazis" the very true stories and first accounts from dutch teenage heroines in WW2. https://www.amazon.com/Seducing-Killing-Nazis-Resistance-Heroines-ebook/dp/B07TMRTVBD/ Freddie and Truus Oversteegen were 14 & 16 when they joined the dutch resistance in the face of Nazi occupation. Along with a slightly older girl Hannie Schaft, these 3 girls carried out an undisclosed number of "liquidations" of Nazi soldiers and officers. Freddie and Truus sometimes ambushed Nazi officers from their bicycles or would lure them out into the woods where they carry out their mission of killing Nazis or dutch traitors. Sophie Poldermans is a renowned speaker and founder of sophieswomenofwar.com where she consults for corporations and foundations. I really enjoyed our chat and I hope you do too!
