#OnThisDay, 21 Mar 1945, Hannie Schaft, an active member of the Dutch resistance known as "the girl with the red hair", was arrested at a German checkpoint in Haarlem.

She was later executed, allegedly saying "I shoot better" after the first attempt to shoot her missed.

@CarveHerName I don’t like using the word hero often because it’s overdone to the point that it devalues it. Hannie Schaft is a hero for all of us.
