They had dropped flysheets in the University's entrance hall, and a housekeeper had informed the gestapo. Perhaps the most abject and depraved lawmen of all time, Roland Freisler, President of the Volksgerichtshof, flew in to yell, shriek and bark their pre-written sentences at them. It was over after four days. Their friends, the rest of the "cell", were all capturedduring the coming months, and all were executed.
Their crime? Writing things like "in the name of the German people, we demand from the regime of Adolf Hitle to give us back personal freedeom, the highest good out of which he has cheated us in the most shameful way".
