Deep dives
The White Rose Resistance
Hans and Sophie Scholl, along with their friend Christoph Props, are young German students who form the White Rose resistance movement. They distribute anti-Nazi pamphlets, critical of Hitler's regime, around Munich and other cities in southern Germany. Despite their efforts to remain anonymous, they are caught by the Gestapo and sentenced to death. Their bravery and defiance serve as an inspiration to the German people and the RAF reprints their leaflets across Germany.
