Miss Scholl, think about it and cooperate with us!
we will reconsider your punishment
think about your poor parents and the shame you brought to them
so, right now you want me...
to sell out your so called partisan for my own good
exposure criminal is not sellout
my brother's classmate has nothing to do with this
Launa
take her away
I am very worried about Fritz
how could I write her name in my note?
- he was sold out? - absolutely not
- he really has not found anything? - nothing at all
his loyalty is just like a solider keeps his oath to Hitler
and we had fights for this many times I am always against supporting the front line
because this will prolong the war and it makes him angry
- is he in Stalingrad too? - he used to be there
luckily, he was transfered to Lemberg as the last group
he lived in lazaret Doc cut off two of his fingers
because he and his people had lain in frozen open air all day and all night
for several weeks in 30¡ãF
I really hope he can survive from the war, while not become its victim
what will happen if Fritz knows you were here?
he shall understand me
hope so
what does he look like?
tall, brown hair
a free elf
and he can always make me laugh
love, this unconditional love, is so amazing
when was the last time you saw him?
last summer, we were in Karolinensiel of Nordsee
early morning, we sailed out
and went to the beach by bike together in the evening
singing, chat and talk about peace at night
no solider, no plane and no bomb
only the sea and sky
sea breeze and our dreams
dear God, what can I do besides confiding you
there is nothing I can do but to leave you my own heart
you create us, and our hearts are so tense
only to be with you, I shall find peace inside
Amon
here you are, drink it
it's the coffee made by authentic coffee bean
for you, Miss Scholl, this also means the happiness of Deutschland, right?
- yes - and you are not like Elser
put bomb in B¨¹rgerbrukeller in Munich 1939
although you chose the wrong slogan you made a peaceful way
so why do you guys want to punish me anyway?
because of the law! no law, no order!
the law you referring used to defend people's liberty of speech
before Hitler took power in 1933 but now, under his government
people who deliver free speech are treated by heavy penalty or death and does order have anything to do with this?
if we don't abide by the law what else should we abide?
- abide by the law, no matter whose law it is - that depends on your conscience
what?
this is the law this is the people
I, as a police officer am amenable to check whether people's behavior matches the law
and if it doesn't
- I have to figure out where the problem is - law can be changed
- conscience won't - what if everyone...
judge right and wrong by his conscience what result would it become?
and what if the criminals succeed in dropping the reins of government what will it be?
unavoidably, there will be serious chaos and those so called freethinking
federation, democracy, we used to have
we know where that will lead us to
everyone will regain his right and order if there is no Hitler, his party and...
protect to autocratic personal rejection not just protect people going with the stream
autocratic, main stream
- you are just disdainful - no, you are
you consider my brother and me as criminals just because of those sheets
although we've done nothing then only words tried to convince you
you have privilege, you and your relatives use this privilege shamefully
you can use our money for college during wartime
with damn democracy, all I've learned is slaughter
do you know who made me become a policeman? French who occupied Pfalz
not German democracy, if there wasn't this campaign
I was still a policeman in the countryside of Pirmasens today
shameful Versailles Treaty, inflation, unemployment
Economic crisis, our leader Adolf Hitler swept off all of this
and also lead Germany to a doomed war
- it's free of charge for all of the Victims - in this heroical war
you and us that you disdain and fight against
both feed ourselves
no matter what happens you live a better life than we do
you absolutely have no need to do so actually you still said that
our leader and Deutschland are protecting you
among this, in Wittelsbacher Palais or my family with background
our German soldiers are liberating Europe from money-supremacy and
Bolschewisten, and for a wider and free Germany
Germany's territory will not be occupied you have my words
at the end of the war foreign troops will garrison
people will point at us saying we didn't fight against Hitler
if we win out at last
after bleeding and sacrifice German people will live a richer and free life as your dream
and at that moment, as a member of BDM what will you say?
German people don't have that belief any more while under Hitler's rule
If it really come true, should I say this?
- Are you a prophet? - Yes
Even the Church is asking the disciples to follow their lead.
- Even in in despair - In Church, everyone is free
But Hitler and Nazis will not give them other choices
Why a young person like you will take this kind of risks for these wrong ideas
For my own conscience
I don't understand, with your talent
you can't understand and feel right about National Socialist German
Freedon, Honor, Wealth
A morally responsible country, this is our faith
Nazi in the name of freedom and honor
Bloodshed the entire europe
Even this can not wake you up?
If the German youth can not finally relieves Hitler from his power and help together make a new, better Europe
then Germany will always be a shameful name
New Europe only can be the national socialism nature
If your leader is a lunatic
Think about national hatred! at Ulm
A Jew teacher was brought before SA-Gruppe
Everyone was ordered to walk in front of him and spit on his face
At that night, he is gone. Disappeared like thousands disappeared in 1941
forced to the eastern frontline
You believe these bullshits? The Jews moved away themselves
Soilders from eastern frontline were already talking about slaughters in the concentration camp
Hitler wants to kill all jews in Europe
He was promoting this absurd idea 20 years ago How could you believe?
Jew are different from us
This guy will only bring us bad luck But you
are only a young girl has been midled by wrong teaching
Probably it's our own fault I feel someone like you should be a member of our Bund deutsche Maedel
You known, when I learned
Nazis are kiliing mentally impaired children with poison gas, how shocked was I?
My mom's friends has described to me how the children from Church Welfare program were taken from the caretakers
Taken away by trucks
The kids were asking "Where does the truck go?"
"Going to heaven" Caretakers answers
So the kids got on the truck and singing.
I have the same feelings like them. You think I am not taught well?
These are invaulable lives You have heard from the caretakers
They have mental paients.
Yes, I clearly know under any circumstances,
nobody will be treated like a person created by God.
Nobody knows, what the soul of a mantal paient is like?
nobody knowns, that innate, increidbally mature existance without body
every life has it's value
You must get used to this coming new age
What you have said is not reality
What I said is related to reality and custom
- Relate to Moral¡¢God - God doesn't exist
You believe what your brother did is right?
You are just an accomplice It's not like that?
Should we write down like this
No£¬Mr. Mohr Because it is not the turth
You known£¬I have a son He is one year younger than you
He sometimes has some weird crazy ideas But now he is in eastern frontline
Because he knows he must perform his duty.
Mr. Mohr, do you believe out final victory?
Ms. Scholl, if you think about everything
you wouldn't involved in these activities
This is about your life
Here. This is what I wrote
According to our questioning Below conclusions were drawn
Your brother's and your Behavior
In wartime, it is a crime again the Nazi Party
Especially in the eyes of tough fighting army from the eastern frontline
You must face severest punishment.
but in my eyes
confession is not equal to betrayal
Maybe like this, I rather say£¬Not mine
but your world view is flawed
Like before, same viewpoint I have done what is right for my people
I have no regrets I will solely take all responsibility for all consequences
notekeeper, keep the record. yes.
like boss know, we are done shortly
If we swear to give up our ideal Mohr will make a bridge for us with gold
- Really? - I wouldn't take that risk
Why not?
Sophie, you are so young you have to live for your ideal and yourself
for your family For god's sake, take his help
There is no way back
Air Raid Alert
Get down, don't stand beside the windows get down on the ground is the safest
Get down
Won't take long we are free
The one just took is not Schmorell
It is Christoph Probst
Same, Treason
I am really sorry I thought
He has 3 kids
the youngest was just born.
His wife got puerperal fever
Ms. Scholl, you must go see litigant now
Hurry
This is my litigation
your case will be judged at Munich Civil Court by a senior judge
I have submitted court order
- is it going to be tomorrow? - no one wants to see it delayed
treason, cause damage to nuclear power station
it will be a public hearing
what a glorious day
I sincerely pray to you
to call upon you
even if you might not know anything about this I am still hoping to get some comfort from you
I pray to you
My Lord, please don't abundant me My dear father, please do not abundant me
Amen
My name is Klein, I am your lawyer appointed by the court
have you seen the court order?
- I have read it - any questions?
what would happen to my parents who live in Ulm
Please
it will be considered in a separate case
I just want to know what would happen to them aren't you my lawyer?
the way you said it as if I was responsible for the state that you are in
I am entitled to know what would happen to my family and you know that
do you think you have right to make a request?
whatever comes to my older brother I don't want a mild sentence
from your angle, I am just guilty as he is
is there anything more that you wish to add?
- no - regarding your brother and you, you are saying
you don't actually want to be a German Citizen are you sure about that?
the chairman of the people's court will arrive here from Berlin tomorrow
he will make you forget about this non-sense you just said, young lady
he will make you and your older brother feel sorry for what you did
open the door
- any questions? - no no, see you in court tomorrow
what a coward
Freisler will be suing both of you tomorrow
he used to an USSR police officer he has to prove his loyalty
our father used to say: I hope you can live forever in honesty and freedom
however difficult the circumstance it may be
will there be people from the public?
Mmm, there will be It is a show, to warn others
then Freisler will surely mention leaflets in front the whole crowd
everyone is going to listen to our view the students definitely will
maybe a riot, if they know this was only because of a few leaflets
the result will be an embarrassment for them the worst scenario would be that
everyone gets shot in 99 days
my older brother once said that we need to be tough and yet compassionate
I once dreamed that
I was holding a child in my chest who wore a long white skirt
I could feel her warmth... suddenly, the earth shook
the ice beneath our feet cracked
I began to slip, then I saw the child
luckily I had enough time to move her to a safer ground
I felt, but I felt liberated and relaxed
the long white skirted child is our ideal it survived
- Scholl, stop it - she should have worn appropriate cloth
thank you
- let God be with you, Sophie - let God be with you, Elser
thank you so much
- how are you? - and yourself?
be quiet, you only answer when are you are asked
- you must fight for yourself - be quiet please
- hiy Hitler - hiy Hitler
I hereof announce, the No.1 court of people opens the case for
Hans Fritz Scholl, Sophie Magdalena Scholl from Munich
and Christoph Hermann Probst from Aldrans
to cause damage to nuclear power station and to protect enermies
Probst Christoph
you are married with 3 children?
yes, 2 and a half, 1 and 3 months and 4 weeks old
regardless your irresponsible behavior how are you suppose
- to bring your children up to be real Germans - I am a good father and
and what?
have no Political ambition
he is saying he does not have any Political ambitions, that almost made me laugh
is this your handwriting
- yes - it was not because of benefit
from a socialist government
it was a nation's social politics
gave you the chance to have your family
and stopped Scholl's request to write
an article based on this Stalingrad female hero's story
to portrait our leaders as military exploiters
so that she will surrender
yes, it was just a thought
the word "just" does not exist when German people have to fight to survive
but I had to admit, I was really depressed at the time when I wrote this
really? you were depressed at the time?
was that the reason?
the thought went into my head when I was really depressed
the war, my wife's fever after giving birth all of these...
Aha, listen everyone this will not help you to escape from your crime
I had denied it in writing yesterday
plus, I need to clarify that I did not use finance
or any other way to spread rumors
manipulate anyone
- what my true intention was - yes, we have heard
you said you were a manipulated idiot so you can be spared
Mr. Chairman, my children need their father
German children do not need a father like you
you are not worthy, Probst
- defendant, do you have any other questions? - no, mr. chairman
bring him down
Scholl£¬Hans
- You have read medicine since 1939? - yes
and still thankful for this socialist government giving you the chance to have
- benefit of 8 terms of study - it is 8 terms
you spent this nation's money like a parasite
during the time, you were serving at a mobile war medical unit
and worked as a medical staff on the front line between July and November 1942?
it was also true but I want to say is that
- please be quiet before I ask you - I want to say that I am not a parasite
shut your mouth or I will have you removed from this court
to serve as a soldier was a duty from the medicine school
oh, we will talk about duty
as an university student, you have the duty to lead an example life
and you were provided with benefit from the Kingdom
but this did not stop you at the beginning of summer 1942
giving out 4 "white rose" leaflets
to spread the negative rumor that German will one day be defeated in the war
and used any possible chances
to change German people's way of life in a socialist society
- and to destroy their government - it is outrages
- all lies - traitors
Scholl
you also have harbored your sister
- it was my decision - did I ask you, defendant?
- I need to speak out the truth - your view will not influence our judgment
did you write this leaflet?
did you believe that German people will only survive through selling out their own country?
- the way will not - answer yes or no, it is not a difficult question
we do not have a chance to fight against the US, the UK and the USSR at the same time
look at the map for yourself
Hitler is leading Germans to a sheer hell
he can't win this war, he is only extending the time of suffering
did you think German's fighting spirit
was no match for their's
you promote the enemy
will lead more German casualties
the only way to stop more casualties is to win it quickly
- win the war? how? - to stop more casualties
you think you alone can decide the outcome of the war?
what German wants is just a war
German's blood had bled dry, they want peach, Hitler and his supportors
will be responsible for the genocide
this far excided just a war every one knows that
- everyone? - who are you talking about?
you are a mad dog
how dear you trying to bite in a high court
many of audience here as well as myself went to the war in the east
but you did not
I have seen with my own eyes the bloodshed in Poland and USSR
staring at the women and children
- killed by German soldiers - and you naively thank that
people here will believe your non-sense
if Hitler and yourself are not afraid of our thoughts
- then we will stand here today - shut your mouth
what a shameless liar
you are an idiot, a traitor
case closed
- any more questions? - no
- I have no further question, Mr. chairman - Scholl Hans, get back to your seat
Sophie Scholl
you have giving out leaflets in university
- aren't you ashamed of what you have done - no, I don't feel so
giving out leaflets in university is that all?
no, I wanted to have
speak louder, we can not hear you
I wanted to give out the last lot of leaflets
- so, our ideal can be quickly... - ideal? you call this filthy your ideal
so dumb, you are not worthy being a German University student
- we fight with our words - so you wrote
¡°Nazi will ruin your lives¡±
have a look at yourself and look at the low class people
where did you get the paper to make the leaflets?
- bought from university - oh, from university
you have stolen them while there is a shortage of paper
this is treason
my brother and I tried to use these leaflets
to awaken German people to stop the blood shed against the Jews
and not to wait for the other 3 countries to finish us off
do we want to be expelled from the world hated by all the nations?
a dominating nation will not care about this
your dominating nation wants peace
to find pride in peach
it wants God, Conscience and compassion
and what is your point?
war will bring German victory
it will become stronger, more pure after the war
what we said and wrote was also believed by many
- they just do not dare to say it - you can shut your mouth then
- do you have more questions to ask me? - no
session finished, take her away
we will now sum up the defendant¡¯s Statements
- I am - Please ask them to leave the court
I am Robert Scholl, the father of two of the defendants
- I want to clarify a few points - I did not permit you to do so
- get out, take him out - this is about justice
Silence!
Now for your last statement defendants, rise please!
- Probst? - I beg you to spare me, for the sake of my children
I admit and repent everything I have done
And you, Scholl?
I beg you, your honor. Spare this man, and punish me instead.
If you have nothing to say in your own behalf, be silent!
Sophia Scholl?
Soon, you shall stand where we are standing right now.
Every decent human being in this room is indignant because of what you have said
In name of the german people
The following charges against Hans Fritz Scholl from Munich
Sophia Magdalena Scholl from Munich...
And Christoph Hermann Probst from Aldrans...
are recognized by the 1. senate of the supreme court...
on February 22 1943:
The defendants have been sending out flyers during the war, in order to sabotage
the Arms production and to overthrow the National Social way of life of our people
To propagandize dangerous ideas and to disgrace our leader
By doing so helped the enemies of this country,
and demoralized our troops.
Therefore you are sentenced to death.
You are deprived of any rights as citizen of this country
You will cover the expense of this trial
Your terror will be over soon
Today you hang us, and tommorrow it will be your turn
Take them away!
- Heil Hitler! - Heil Hitler!
This way!
If you have anything to say before your execution...
Please make it short, Ms. Scholl.
It is today?
I was told, everybody has 99 days...
You should start writing.
Come, somebody is here to see you
See me?
Please don't be afraid
Given the choice, i would still do the same thing
You did everything well, I am proud of you
My little girl
Mama...
How you stand here right before me, brave and steadfast.
Now, you will never again come in through our door.
We shall meet again in the eternity
Go, Sophie. Jesus...
Yes, Mother, you too...
Ms. Scholl, please
I have just said farewell to my parents
They will understand
Come with me, please
Ms. Scholl, my name is Alt.
I am the priest in this prison
God, oh almighty father
make this earth fruitful
So the seeds you sow do not fall in vain
Let hope grow, oh my creator,
for those who will only see it for the last time
- Amen. - Amen.
I beg you to give me the blessing of God
God the father gives you his blessing, for you are created by his own image
God the son gives you his blessing,
for his suffering and death have saved you
God the holy spirit gives you his blessing
for he has taken you to his sacred temple
Oh, all mighty God Have mercy in your judgement
and grant you, the eternal life
- Amen - Amen
No one's love is greater than those who sacrifice their own life for their friends
God is with you
This is against the regulation, but...
Please hurry
Thanx
It is not in vain.
Ms. Scholl.
The sun is still bright in the sky
Sophia Magdalena Scholl
