Hi

Looking for birth records of my dutch grandmother. She fled the Netherlands during WW2 to South Africa where she married my Grandfather. I know her full maiden name, birth date (and the city of her birth), hair colour, and height.

This information is all from her South African passport - which also has dates of re-entry into the Netherlands.

I am currently trying to find her official Dutch birth records so that I can apply for Dutch citizenry.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I don't think your grandparent will qualify you for dutch citizenship. You either have to have had a parent born in the Netherlands, Aruba or Dutch Antilles to apply, have been a resident for at least four years in either of the above or lived in either for a period as a stateless person, that is one who does not belong to any country.
