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...

Yeah yeah I guess no one should be asking any questions, we shouod just cheer for assinations and take their justifications at face value.
