HALF-CAF!! Ep 9 - Hannie Shaft: Dutch Heroine and Nazi Assassin

Hello, fellow sleuths! Welcome back to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, Candace takes us through the remarkable life of Hannie Schaft, a name synonymous with fearlessness and defiance in the face of Nazi occupation. Known to many as "The Girl with the Red Hair," Schaft's story is not just one of resistance, but of an unyielding pursuit of justice. As a young law student in the Netherlands, Schaft witnessed the horrors of World War II and decided to make a stand. She joined the Dutch resistance, transforming from a studious academic into a cunning operative. Her acts of sabotage, intelligence gathering, and, most notably, her involvement in targeted assassinations, struck fear into the hearts of the occupying forces. Join us for this shorter episode (lovingly called "half-caf") as we uncover the daring escapades of Hannie Schaft and sip on local coffee from Magpie Roasters and Radical Cat. https://hannieschaft.nl/meisje-met-het-rode-haar-scholieren/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannie_Schafthttps://hannieschaft.nl/product/truus-menger-not-then-not-now-not-ever/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scream-and-sugar-true-crime-coffee-hour--6015946/support.This content is not appropriate for all listeners; listener discretion is advised.  PS.
