She most definitely needs a movie. She was part of the Resistance in Holland, and

Damn, she was a badass. She also helped Jewish people escape camps and blew up some train tracks the Reich used.

“The 2 sisters began as couriers moving weapons & stealing identity papers to help Jews escape.

…

One early assignment was arson – the 2 burned down a #Nazi warehouse, flirting with the guards as a distraction.

…

On one assignment to “liquidate” an #SS member, the sisters found their target in a restaurant. As Oversteegen kept watch, Truus lured him out by seductively proposing a walk in the forest, where another resistance fighter shot him dead.”

It's surprisingly dry for such an amazing topic - just a researcher's account of what we know about them. Not dramatised at all. Totally worthwhile, though!
