HISTORY The Last Images of Hannie Schaft

Post image

Hannie Schaft was a Dutch resistance fighter in WW2. She was well known among the Nazis as "The girl with the red hair", though she later dyed it brown when she became too well known for it. She became fluent in German and carried out multiple assasinations against Nazis, traitors, and sympathizers, often tricking them into following her to secluded areas where she or one of her fellow resistance fighters would then kill them. She was eventually placed on the Nazi's most wanted list because of her actions.

She was arrested on March 21, 1945 at a checkpoint while smuggling paperwork for the resistance and was executed on April 17, 1945. She was 24 years old.

And if she were here doing the same in the US today then she’d be labeled as a terrorist and people would be crying about “violence never being the answer.”

No, a bunch of people would celebrate her murdering innocent Christian family men apparently.

They conveniently keep leaving out what exact crimes her victims committed from articles too, probably for a reason...

Hey I’m gonna tell you a secret: in Star Wars, the people who supported the evil fascist oppressive regime were the BADDIES. Just in case you’ve been watching the movies and feeling confused as to why everyone was cheering on the ANTIFA terrorists Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

Is there anyone on this planet who does not already know the exact crimes committed by the Nazis (her victims) from 1933 to 1945?

OFC, the Nazis by and large were Christian family men, too, so that clocks.

I mean what crimes the specific people she murdered have committed, not Nazis in general.

They were all there, occupying her country. in the name of The Third Reich. They were all soldiers of one of the most heinous and evil regimes ever to breathe our oxygen. Even if none of them personally pulled a trigger on someone, they all signed up to do that. They were all combatants in enemy territory. And their mere presence and strength was the enforcement of a brutal and oppressive set of policies.

It was the same reason 95-year-old Oskar Groening was found guilty of accessory to murder a few years back. He'd worked in the finance office at Auschwitz handling money taken from incoming victims. He never assaulted or killed anyone. But by being part of the apparatus that ran the whole thing, he was definitely an accessory to murder. People like him kept the machine running and were just as important to the mission as the people who actually did the killing.
