Siblings in Crime
Necessary Evil- Truus and Freddie Oversteegen
They looked like ordinary teenagers—ribbons in their hair, bicycles underfoot, lipstick religiously applied. But behind every smile was a secret. And behind every secret… a weapon.
In Nazi-occupied Holland, a string of unexplained deaths begins to unfold. A soldier disappears after a flirtatious encounter. A woman is shot in a park. A collaborator winds up in a canal. No one sees a connection. But this wasn’t chaos. It was precision.
In this episode of Siblings in Crime, we follow a story that starts with compassion and ends with a gunshot. Based on the true lives of Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, two teenage girls turned assassins, this tale unravels the most unlikely faces of resistance.
Because sometimes, the deadliest people in history… are the ones you’d never think to fear.
