Sophie Scholl: the Final Days 120 Minutes – Biography/Drama/Crime – 24 February 2005 (Germany)
Friday 26th June 2015 - ĊAK, Birkirkara Sophie Scholl: The Final Days 120 minutes – Biography/Drama/Crime – 24 February 2005 (Germany) A dramatization of the final days of Sophie Scholl, one of the most famous members of the German World War II anti-Nazi resistance movement, The White Rose. Director: Marc Rothemund Writer: Fred Breinersdorfer. Music by: Reinhold Heil & Johnny Klimek Cast: Julia Jentsch ... Sophie Magdalena Scholl Alexander Held ... Robert Mohr Fabian Hinrichs ... Hans Scholl Johanna Gastdorf ... Else Gebel André Hennicke ... Richter Dr. Roland Freisler Anne Clausen ... Traute Lafrenz (voice) Florian Stetter ... Christoph Probst Maximilian Brückner ... Willi Graf Johannes Suhm ... Alexander Schmorell Lilli Jung ... Gisela Schertling Klaus Händl ... Lohner Petra Kelling ... Magdalena Scholl The story The Final Days is the true story of Germany's most famous anti-Nazi heroine brought to life. Sophie Scholl is the fearless activist of the underground student resistance group, The White Rose. Using historical records of her incarceration, the film re-creates the last six days of Sophie Scholl's life: a journey from arrest to interrogation, trial and sentence in 1943 Munich. Unwavering in her convictions and loyalty to her comrades, her cross- examination by the Gestapo quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility that is both haunting and timeless. The White Rose The White Rose was a non-violent, intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany, consisting of students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor. The group became known for an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign, lasting from June 1942 until February 1943, that called for active opposition to dictator Adolf Hitler's regime. -
The Executioner at War: Soldiers, Spies and Traitors
The Executioner At War: Soldiers, Spies and Traitors lbert Pierrepoint was not called up when war broke out. But there were war-related changes for him as well. Not only murderers and A murderesses could now be punished by death, there were sentences under the Treason Act and Treachery Act as well, both imposing »death« as the maximum penalty. The Treason Act went back to an ancient law of King Edward III's time (1351). »Treason« was, first of all, any attack on the legitimate ruler, for instance by planning to murder him, or on the legitimacy of the succession to the throne: It was treason as well if someone tried to smuggle his genes into the royal family by adultery with the queen, the oldest daughter of the king or the crown prince’s wife. This aspect of the law became surprisingly topical in our days: When it became known that Princess Diana while married to the Prince of Wales had had an affair with her riding instructor James Hewitt, there were quite some law experts who declared this to be a case of treason – following the letter of the Act, it doubtlessly was. However as it would have been difficult to find the two witnesses prescribed by the Act, a prosecution was never started. Just Hewitt’s brother officers of the Household Cavalry did something: They »entered his name on the gate« which was equivalent to drumming him out of the regiment and declaring the barracks off limits for him.317 During World War II, it became important that a person committed treason if they supported the king’s enemies in times of war. -

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano. There is no connection with the 'White Rose' in English history." Hans Scholl, interrogation protocol of the Gestapo, 20.2.1943 The Origin of the White Rose The White Rose originated from individual friend- ships growing into circles of friends. Christoph Probst and Alexander Schmorell had been friends since their school days. -
An Analysis on the Influence of Christianity on the White Rose
Religion and Resistance: An Analysis on the Influence of Christianity on the White Rose Resistance Movement Laura Kincaide HIST 3120: Nazi German Culture Dr. Janet Ward December 1, 2014 1 Because religion often leads people to do seemingly irrational things, understanding a person’s religion is essential to understand his/her actions. This was especially true in Nazi Germany when religious conviction led some people to risk their lives to do what they believed was right, others allowed their religion to be transformed and co-opted by the Nazis to fit a political agenda while meeting spiritual needs, and still others simply tried to ignore the cognitive dissonance of obeying an authority that was acting in direct contradiction to a spiritual one. This paper will examine the role of Christianity in resistance movements against the Nazis with a focus on the White Rose in an attempt to explain how members of the same religion could have had such drastically different responses to the National Socialists. The White Rose resistance movement officially began in June, 1942 when the group’s first anti-Nazi pamphlet was published and distributed, although the activities and broodings of the members far predated this event. The movement started at the University of Munich, where a small group of students, most notably Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, Alex Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and Traute Lafrenz, and their philosophy and musicology professor, Kurt Huber, discovered that they shared negative opinions of the Nazis and began meeting in secret to discuss their dissident political views.i Some of the most dedicated and passionate members felt the need to spread their ideas throughout the German populace and call upon their fellow citizens to passively resist the Nazis. -

The outcome of the crisis may have been similar, notwithstanding the fact that military decision makers did of course have to pay heed to the seasons. But contemporaries would have told the story of the outbreak of war without the familiar metaphor of a glorious summer which was cruelly overshadowed by storm clouds as international tensions heightened until they were finally »discharged« in an electric storm, i. e. war. In his interesting investigation of the meaning, importance and longevity of the »dream summer« metaphor, Matthias Bode makes a convincing case that it certainly »would have been a different story« (p. 42) if war had broken out at a different time of year. Bode has painstakingly researched how and why contemporaries and later commentators used the image of the »glorious summer« of 1914. Using diaries, letters, autobiographies, novels and later accounts by historians, he shows convincingly that the metaphor of the »dream summer« encompassed many important and recurring themes: it speaks of innocence and surprise, and of regretful longing for a more peaceful past. -

My response was “ I LOVE it…proceed”. What we embarked upon that summer was the beginnings of what you will experience tonight. -

Bayerns Letzter Henker Johann Baptist Reichhart (* 29
Bayerns letzter Henker Johann Baptist Reichhart (* 29. April 1893 in Wichenbach bei Wörth an der Donau; † 26. April 1972 in Dorfen bei Erding) war von 1924 bis 1946 staatlich bestellter Scharfrichter. Reichhart entstammte einer bayerischen Abdecker- und Scharfrichtersippe, die bis in die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts zurückzuverfolgen ist. Sein Vater († 1902) besaß in der Einöde Wichenbach bei Tiefenthal eine kleine Landwirtschaft und arbeitete im Nebenerwerb als Wasenmeister. Johann besuchte die Volks- und die Feiertagsschule in Wörth an der Donau und schloss beide mit Erfolg ab. Er machte eine Lehre als Metzger. Scharfrichter in der Weimarer Republik Reichhart übernahm im April 1924 in Bayern das Amt des Scharfrichters von seinem Onkel Franz Xaver Reichhart (1851–1934). Bestellt vom bayerischen Justizministerium, wurde Reichart mit 150 Goldmark je Hinrichtung, zehn Mark Tagesspesen und kostenloser Eisenbahnfahrkarte 3. Klasse entlohnt. Bei Hinrichtungen in der Pfalz durfte er auch per Schnellzug anreisen. In den Jahren 1924 bis 1928 nahm die Anzahl der Hinrichtungen ab (im Jahr 1928 eine Hinrichtung). Reichhart hatte zunehmend Schwierigkeiten, den Lebensunterhalt seiner Familie zu bestreiten. Er erreichte, dass er zukünftig eine Nebentätigkeit – auch im Ausland – ausüben durfte und er von der Residenzpflicht entbunden wurde. Mangels Aufträgen gab er 1925 sein Fuhrwerkgeschäft auf, ebenso wie im darauffolgenden Jahr seine Gastwirtschaft am Mariahilfplatz. Danach verkaufte er als Handlungsreisender katholische Traktate in Oberbayern. 1928 wollte Reichhart seinen Vertrag mit dem Justizministerium lösen; dies gelang ihm nicht. Er verlegte seinen Wohnsitz nach Den Haag und war dort erfolgreich als selbständiger Gemüsehändler tätig. Im Frühjahr 1931 und im Juli 1932 reiste er nach München, um im Gefängnis Stadelheim je ein Todesurteil zu vollstrecken. -

Durch eine Änderung der Anteile der Elemente in einem Stoff wollte man diesen umwandeln - und so beispielsweise Blei zu Gold machen. Circa 306 Elvira * Im 4.

Augustinus entwirft die Theorie des "gerechten" Krieges: "Gerecht werden die Kriege genannt, die Unrecht rächen". Und weiter: "Ich glaube nicht, dass der Soldat, der einen Feind tötet, wie auch der Richter und der Henker, die einen Verbrecher hinrichten, sündigen, denn mit ihrem Handeln gehorchen sie dem Gesetz". Nur ein Krieg mit dem Ziel Reichtümer und Ehre zu gewinnen, gilt als unstatthaft.
