When Freddie Oversteegen was asked how many enemies she had killed, she replied:
"One should not ask a soldier any of that."

Let the negative space speak for itself as a bold artistic statement.

She doesn't want to get hearing damage from the gunshots

There is a German podcast episode about her and two other girls by the great podcast show Geschichte der Kommenden Welten for those who understand German

A district in my hometown is called after her. Not a street, a whole district. Build in the 1970's

In the videogame Wolfenstein: The New Order there's mentions from a character that might be loosely based on her, or at least the details are very similar. Look up "Ramona's diary" if you'd like to read more.

"May 2, 1941. The Nazi appears to become sleepy after climaxing. I learned this as his little soldiers were leaking out of me onto his sheets. And his face turned blue, from the rope applied to his neck in his slumber. Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday."

This one sticks in my memory for that interesting description of a creampie

In the US, she would be considered a "radical left antifa terrorist" for this. Because Nazis are the "true patriots" according to MAGA.

Like in American history you hear about Paul Revere riding a damn horse over and over, yet you never learn about Nancy Morgan Hart. I learned who she was from a Bad Cop/Bad Cop song.

Interesting stories... But if she held a bunch of soldiers captive in her home with one firearm she likely wouldn't have been able to shoot one and still hold the others captive, as she would've had to reload for the gun to remain a threat.

It's more likely that she held them at gunpoint and then others helped detain them so they could be hung.

If even just one or two soldiers knew they were going to be killed they would've likely risked death to rush her or their other captors, giving themselves at least some chance at survival.

Back then soldiers and people in general usually carried knives too, not just guns.

While the accounts are most like exaggerated, so are most things from that time. We still learned about Paul Revere and not the 40 other riders out that night. Or the fact the Revere was captured, while the others with him escaped. And Samuel Prescott was the one who actually finished the ride.

And it’s a great song

Dunno if anyone's been paying attention, but there's a shitload of Nazis all around. Also, women are historically shuttered when it comes to their stories.

Groups of people systematically underrepresented in popular media? Nonsense! Here's a man that still doesn't have a movie:
