Wasn't there a lovely Dutch lady who seduced Nazis into the woods, where she promptly killed them and distributed their equipment to resistance forces? She sounds fun

When she was about to be executed she said:

'I shoot better than that'

From your own link:

“Although Schaft's supposed final words became famous, they were never confirmed. A Dutch World War II historian said a search through the Dutch archives does not ever mention Schaft saying "I shoot better!" During a post-war interrogation, Kuiper said he had been talking to Schaft when he suddenly heard a gunshot after which she cried out in pain and started shaking. Realizing that Schmitz had only grazed her, Kuiper took out his submachine gun and fired a burst at Schaft, after which she immediately collapsed. One of the shots hit her in the head, killing her.[12] It was the Dutch novelist Theun de Vries who added Hannie Schaft's last words as a poetic license in his book The Girl With the Red Hair (Het meisje met het rode haar, 1956)”

Yeah I chose story over substance, thanks for the addtional info, though.

I choose historical accuracy over story.

I don't disagree. I didn't really read it critically, hence why I thanked you

Sorry if I came off roughly; I wasn’t trying to do so. :)

Hope you have a great (cake) day!

No worries, I'm a sticker for accuracy and was positively surprised by the call out.

Thnx!
