On this date, February 22, 1943 Sophie and Hans Scholl with their friend Christph Probst were executed by German authorities.
They were members of the White Rose, who began a resistance to the German government after the defeat of German forces at Stalingrad.
In recent weeks historians have unhearthed information on one of the members to suggest at an earlier stage he was a strong supporter of the Nazis.
