On February 19, 1943, an immediate search of the location described by the accused Sofie Scholl turned up a set of keys. Following that, the undersigned carried out a search of the studio and all its rooms. In the studio proper, no evidence turned up. The following evidence was found in a corner of the basement, hidden by boxes and other objects. Continue reading
Discovery of Remington typewriter (Schmorell)
[Alexander Schmorell]: In the interim, I have borrowed the same typewriter several times. If this typewriter was seized in the Scholls’ residence on February 18 (sic), 1943, that means it was not returned to Pötzel. Continue reading

Alexander Schmorell re hiding duplicating machine
When we were finished duplicating our leaflets, we took the duplicating machine to the property Leopold Str. 38, studio, cellar, purely out of security considerations. Hans Scholl /added by hand: and/ I carried this out. In so doing, we were in agreement that production of leaflets would be only temporarily suspended and that should the appropriate occasion arise, we would do it again. Continue reading
Hans and Alex mail leaflets
Once I saw Hans Scholl leave with the rucksack. However, I do not know what he was hiding in it. On that occasion, Hans Scholl additionally took the portable typewriter with him. Schmorell also left with Hans Scholl. I saw that the rucksack was fairly full, but I could not tell what it contained. I was not present when they packed it. Continue reading
Alexander Schmorell re addressing of sixth leaflet
Either the next day, or the day after that, Hans Scholl and I set about getting our leaflets ready to mail. We used an older student directory (I believe Scholl owned something like that) and randomly copied out the addresses of students [Note 1] who lived in Munich. Continue reading
The American typewriter
It was impossible to determine which specific German system the typewriter in question utilizes. Currently, an investigation is underway to determine whether it could be a foreign-made typewriter. In this context it is interesting to note that in the opinion of the State Police Headquarters in Vienna it is possible that the typewriter in question is a foreign-made model (Remington and Underwood brands). Continue reading
Hans Scholl re Remington typewriter (2nd interrogation)
Question: Does Alexander Schmorell own a typewriter or has he ever brought a typewriter to your apartment?

Alexander Schmorell re production of fifth leaflet
In contrast to the “White Rose” leaflet, we wrote, duplicated, and distributed the leaflet “Call to All Germans” in Scholl’s residence. In the composition of this leaflet, we were solely concerned about continuing our political revolutionary movement [Note 1], which by its very nature was leveled at the Führer. Continue reading

Shutting down before Russia
I sold the duplicating machine that had been used in the production of these mass leaflets back to the Bayerle (sic) Company. I think I got 15 or 20 Marks [$120 – 160] for it. Continue reading
Hans Scholl – first leaflet
During my last interrogation, I explained that I produced and disseminated these documents alone. This is incorrect, because Schmorell was also helpful to me in this regards. I will now try to give a coherent portrayal of the matter: Continue reading
