The Bündische Trials (Scholl/Reden). 1937 - 1938. (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This publication contains the interrogations, trial transcripts, and additional official documents related to the arrest and conviction of Hans Scholl for illegal "bündische" activities, as well as for the assault of a younger boy in his Hitler Youth group.Names of all persons except for Hans Scholl, Werner Scholl, and Ernst Reden have been changed to protect their identities and privacy.These primary source documents directly contradict most Scholl literature on this topic and provide firsthand inside into the psychology of Hans Scholl's makeup. He comes across as a confused, complicated, complex, charismatic human being, at once worthy of our respect and honor for what he *did* do in the name of justice, and yet contemptible because of the way he treated those around him.As the dedication notes, the book does not intend to vilify Hans Scholl, merely to put the facts out there so we can all better understand who he was.For those who argue that such material should be kept private because it had no influence on his White Rose activities, it must be stated that one of the Gestapo agents who interrogated him in February 1943 noted that he had used this information to get Hans Scholl to flip on Christoph Probst. In other words, the contents of these pages had a direct impact on the events of 1943.
