| biography:
| German resistance fighter, born in Ingersheim, Germany. With his sister, Sophie Scholl (1921–43), born in Forchtenberg, Germany, and under the influence of Catholic opponents to the NS-Regime, they distanced themselves from the Hitler state and were arrested in 1938 for youth activities. After Hans returned from the front in France (1940) and from the USSR (1942), where he had worked as an orderly, he founded the Weiße Rose resistance movement. They were arrested while distributing leaflets at Munich University in 1943 and sentenced to death. Both were executed at München-Stadelheim. |
