In the midst of World War II, three teenage girls transformed from ordinary youths to exceptional resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied Netherlands. "Three Ordinary Girls" presents the breathtaking story of Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen, and her sister Freddie, who joined the underground struggle to reclaim their homeland.
May 10, 1940, marked a dark chapter for the Netherlands as the Third Reich’s troops swiftly took control. The peaceful lives of many were shattered, and fear became the pervasive sentiment. Yet, amidst this chaos emerged these brave young women, driven by their commitment to oppose tyranny. They were not just onlookers; they became active agents of resistance, risking their lives to protect those in danger.
Joining forces with a resistance cell in Haarlem, the trio actively engaged in perilous missions.
