“Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go… What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?” —Words attributed to Sophie Scholl of the White Rose Society, at her execution by the Nazis on this day in 1943.

I wish she could be remembered for how beautiful her smile was, and not how she died.

@TheGiftofGab @kitoconnell I wish her executioner had died in their burning house as the bombs thundered down from the sky. Instead, the US gave them a postwar job executing people in West Germany! The "judge" also escaped justice. Instead of the very tight necktie at Nuremburg he deserved, West Germany gave him a job in their Federal Ministry of Justice!

Shit like this was one of the reasons urban guerilla groups such as the Red Army Fraction (RAF) operated in Cold War era West Germany.

"RAF" also has another meaning relevent to this: One of the best air missions of the war took place in Occupied France. A single British Mosquito bomber lined up on a Gestapo headquarters, flying at treetop level. When they released the bomb, it bounced down the street, crashed through the door into Gestapo headquarters at the end of the block, and detonated inside. BOOM! The place was levelled.

THIS is how you answer executions, and these sort of missions were carried out when there was word a mass execution was planned.
