CWRS Staff . Gisela Schertling, Hans Scholl . Anneliese Graf, Aulendorf, Catholicism, Creator and Creation, Heinrich Ellermann, Hubert Furtwängler, Josef Rieck, Rousset, Second Student Company, studio, Theodor Haecker, Wilhelm Geyer

I actually never got to know Anneliese Graf well. I saw her only twice in Eickemeyer’s studio. From her conversations with Hans Scholl, I could not tell whether they had a close relationship [Note 1]. But I do not think that she had any connection to the matter. Continue reading →

Gisela’s corrections re meeting with Dohrn

CWRS Staff . Christoph Probst, Gisela Schertling, Hans Scholl, Manfred Eickemeyer, Sophie Scholl, Willi Graf . Bad Wiessee, Catholicism, freedom, Harald Dohrn, Hubert Furtwängler, Josef Furtmeier, Machtstaat, National Socialism, politics, Prussian mentality, studio, Wilhelm Geyer

Probst’s father-in-law Mr. Dohrn was not in Scholl’s apartment on Franz Joseph Strasse, but rather in Eickemeyer’s studio on Leopold Str. As I recall, I saw him there twice. I had the impression that the meeting had been arranged with Hans Scholl. Continue reading →

Meeting in studio with Harald Dohrn

January 27, 1943

CWRS Staff . Alexander Schmorell, Gisela Schertling, Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl . Harald Dohrn, Hubert Furtwängler, studio, Wilhelm Geyer

Furtwängler was only in Scholl’s apartment (sic [Note 1]) on two occasions. On those occasions, Schmorell, Sophie Scholl, Geyer, Christoph Probst’s father-in-law [Harald Dohrn], and I were also present. I noticed from the conversations that this circle in general (with the possible exception of Furtwängler) was very negative towards the State. Continue reading →

Treasonous meeting in studio

January 11, 1943

CWRS Staff . Gisela Schertling, Hans Scholl . Hubert Furtwängler, politics, revolution, Second Student Company, Wilhelm Geyer

The spokesman during these meetings was (as was usually the case) Hans Scholl. Geyer also participated energetically in the political discussions. I know for certain that he was present when they talked about a revolt against the current regime. Continue reading →

“White Rose” leaflets

July 12, 1942

CWRS Staff . Hans Scholl, Traute Lafrenz . Georg Schwarz, Hubert Furtwängler, leaflets, Solln, Wittenstein

I learned about the “White Rose” leaflet for the first time through the poet Dr. Schwarz, who lives in Solln. He received this anonymously through the mail and turned it over to the Secret State Police [Gestapo] when he received it. I do not recall any specifics regarding the content of the leaflet. I believe this has to do with the first leaflet, in case he received the second one as well. Continue reading →
