[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 340011, member: 2844"]The woman with the Dutch flag is also in Dutch uniform. There was no Dutch women's military corps, or Milva, in the Netherlands at the time. There was a Dutch East Indian women's corps (Vrouwenkorps KNIL) in Australia. Their uniform was different, and women in the military were never allowed to wear long hair loose like that. This could be an iconic Resistance woman in uniform as a symbol. Maybe she is meant to resemble Hannie Schaft? She was among those executed just before the end of the war, and still remembered.
