Continuing with the Bad Squiddo Women of the Resistance, here is Dutch resistance fighter Truus Oversteegen. As a teenager girl, the Nazis didn't suspect her of being a danger. She and her sister Freddie their friend Hannie Schaft would lure Nazis to secluded locales so the Dutch resistance could kill them. Truus eventually became a trigger-person herself.
Here's Truus with her trusty submachinegun. I've painted her with blond(ish) hair, although as I squint at B&W photos it's possible she was a brunette.
Love the striped stockings!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you noticed :) This crazy hobby has me digging up images of women's socks from the 1940s as part of my research. :P
DeleteYeah, that kind of search history is gonna mess up your feed for sure.
DeleteLOL!
DeleteLooks good! Reminds me of the streaming series, A Small Light, that aired recently about the woman who helped hide Anne Frank and her family. Excellent watch, if you haven't seen it yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike, I'll look for that one!
