Fun fact: the judge who sentenced them, Roland Friesler also sentenced many other dissidents in this way. He was killed in the court building by a B-17 bomber.
How fitting that he died in the same court where he sentenced hundreds to die for perceived crimes of speaking their opinion against the country’s fascism.
And somebody who once referred to himself as “the friendly face of the NS” and “the democratic Freisler” won a seat in the German parliament yesterday…
