Sophie and Hans Scholl

At 5 p.m. on the 22 of February 1943 they were guillotined together with Christoph Probst.
Under the name of "White Rose" they were distributing fliers in Munich and painted anti-Hitler-paroles on houses.
When they threw fliers down the hall of the University in Munich the janitor saw them and delivered them to the Gestapo (Secret Police). Four days later they were dead.
The judge was the unfamous, frantic rascal Roland Freisler.

There was no "Arab Spring" in Germany against the dictator.

Once in the "Peasants War" in 1525 the people stood up and almost made it, but were destroyed and butchered in the end.
That's terriablescold
flash news,
the establishment hasn`t changed for the better ...
I wonder what the janitor got out of it. I can only assume that he was prosecuted after the war.
Nobody was prosecuted after the war. Neither the janitor nor the those of the secret police interrogating them. They got their pension and rent. One died in 1977.
Thanks, you seem very knowledgeable. professor

It is funny though. The Russians were so hard looking for more Germans to prosecute and execute. Was Munich part of West or East Germany?
Munich was in the American sector.

But even the Russians did not find out most criminals of war.
They have to carry their own burden I would say.
