Hans Scholl: [to the court] If you and Hitler weren't afraid of our opinion, we wouldn't be here.

Richter Dr. Roland Freisler: In the name of the German people, in the criminal case against Hans Fritz Scholl from Munich, Sophia Magdalena Scholl from Munich, and Christoph Hermann Probst from Aldrans, the people's court has reached a verdict following court proceedings on 22 February, 1943: The defendants published leaflets at a time of war, calling for people to sabotage armaments, and to overthrow our people's National Socialist way of life. They propagated defeatist ideas and visciously insulted the Fuhrer. By so doing, they aided the enemy and demoralized our troops. They are therefore sentenced to death. They lose their rights as citizens for all time. They bear the cost of the trial.
Sophie Magdalena Scholl: Your terror will soon be over!
Hans Scholl: You may hang us today, but you'll be hanged tomorrow.
Maximilian Brückner
