#OnThisDay, 21 Mar 1945, Hannie Schaft, an active member of the Dutch resistance known as "the girl with the red hair", is arrested at a German checkpoint in Haarlem.
She is later executed, allegedly saying "I shoot better" after the first attempt to shoot her missed.

@trrektor
5 dagen na Dodenherdenking, dus.
@CarveHerName Just a few more days and she could have lived. This is the worst part about so many of them. If only...
@CarveHerName Hannie, I will be inspired by your courage
@CarveHerName It was the courage of Hannie and others like her that inspired my latest novel.
@CarveHerName May her memory be a blessing, and where appropriate, an inspiration!
