The second time that Rousset took part was also limited to literary matters. If I recall correctly, it took place around mid-January 1943. The Scholl siblings were present that evening. Politics was not discussed that evening. Continue reading

Hans Scholl accompanies Gisela to train station
He carried my luggage to the train station. I was actually surprised that he was so attentive to me, because after all, I had only known him for a few days. … Continue reading
Katharina expands info about farewell party
After careful consideration, I now recall that I did stay at the farewell party at Eickemeyer’s studio to the very end. Remonstrance Continue reading
Monsieur Rousset
Question: You yourself introduced a person to the Scholl circle, and to date, you have not named this person. Who was this person and what was the reason that you introduced this person to Scholl? Continue reading
Bischoff’s view of Schmorell’s literary soiree
Eventually, Huber was invited to the villa of the accused Schmorell’s father. There a political discussion arose in which Huber championed the notion that the NSDAP would continue to drift to the left, asserting that Northern Germany already exhibited strong Bolshevist tendencies, while Southern Germany generally leaned more towards an established democratic form of government.

Katharina goes to Alex’s soiree

Literary soiree at the Schmorells’ villa
One time, Prof. Huber came to my residence to discuss literary matters with me. This meeting served no political end at all. Hans Scholl was also present in my residence during this visit. I believe I can recall that this meeting took place in the summer of 1942. Continue reading
Detail about the Schmorell soiree
It is also quite possible that I am partially confusing the meetings at Schmorell’s villa with the farewell party at Eickemeyer’s studio in terms of the political discussions there.

Eickemeyer allows meetings in the studio
Following that, I got together with Hans Scholl often, because he was interested in my work and he had a pleasant manner about him.

Katharina describes Mertens’ party
When I am asked whether and at which additional meetings I was present within the Scholl circle, I just remembered that before the meeting at the Schmorell’s villa, I met Lafrenz and Scholl one evening at Prof. Dr. Mertens’ [house]. Therefore I must also correct my previous statement in which I said that I met Lafrenz and Scholl for the first time at Schmorell’s villa. Continue reading
