It takes very brave people to stand up against people like the Nazis, especially in a non-violent way.

Those two were people who truly believed in what they advocated, so much that they gave their lives for it.....

Ah the Scholl's did a great thing to stand up to teh Nazi elite, but in the end using peaceful methods was never going to be successful

They were good people

IIRC, they were hung with piano wire. Then again, that may have been the army officers who tried to blow Hitler up in '44.

Either way, its a horrible way to go..

The July '44 plotters who didn't kill themselves were shot in the courtyard of the building the used for the Coup. Later after Gestapo investigations many others were hung by meat-hooks :|

Well, that does suck majorly, but I was thinking of Jerzy Popieluszko.
