Alright... around how many people were killed during the Rohm Purge? Secondly name me 5 prominent victims..

While there is no absolutely certain number of victims it were probably about 400, while official records back then claimed that 77 were killed.
Amongst those who were killed were:
Ernst Rˆhm (SA leader).
Edmund Heines (SA officer and lover of Ernst Rˆhm).
Kurt von Schleicher (German Chancellor from December 1932 to January 1933). His wife Elizabeth von Schleicher was murdered along with her husband.
Gregor Stra?er (former Bavarian commissar and NSDAP member who used to be considered a great friend of Hitler, but had run afoul with him).
Fritz Gerlich (journalist and publisher who was perhaps the most prominent member of the press resistance against Hitler; which was soon to be surpressed by the nazis).
Erich Klausener (Catholic politician and member of the resistance against Hitler).
Kuno Kamphausen (member of the centrist party).

Ironically many of the SA members to be murdered on Hitler's order were shot while performing the "Hitlergru?" with "Heil Hitler" on their lips.

The last words of a famous member of the German resistance against Hitler, when led to the scafold were: "The sun still shines".
Who was this member of the resistance, and what "crime" was this member of the resistance convicted for?

Was this a members of the White Rose" orginization? I'm guessing the crime was distributing pamphlets..

Malte279 · **Reply #386 on:** October 06, 2006, 03:41:36 PM

You are on the correct track. Which member of the White Rose did speak those final words before being executed?

Nick22 · **Reply #387 on:** November 14, 2006, 11:05:33 AM

An Aside for a moment malte.. I have heard that it has been ruled that the Nazi party is a legitimate political organization, and thus can hold office.. If this is true, it greatly disturbs me. I don't need to remind you of what the original nazis did, and they are idolized by the current groups.

I see you have posted a seperate thread on the matter. Thanks, because it sdeserves more attention than an aside discussion.

Do you know whose last words were "The sun still shines"? One hint, a movie was made about the last days of this member of the "White Rose". The movie was nominated for the acadamy awards as the best foreign language film, but didn't win this award.

Nick22 · **Reply #390 on:** November 21, 2006, 12:03:10 PM

I'm tried googling, and the sun still shines hasn't come up yet...I'll keep looking

Malte279 · **Reply #391 on:** November 21, 2006, 12:07:39 PM

Hints:
The fact that the person I'm looking for was a member of the White Rose leaves not too many people. About whom of these few was a movie produced not too long ago? If you enter just "The sun still shines" at google you will get many music titles. How about adding "White Rose" to your keywords?

Sophie Stohl?

Spell her right (she deserves that much) and the turn is yours.

Sorry scholl... How did Nazi Germany inspire the rise of Saddam Hussein?

Nick22 · **Reply #395 on:** April 26, 2007, 02:41:57 PM

Since this question has not been answered , I'll ask a different one...

Malte279 · **Reply #396 on:** August 11, 2007, 03:29:05 PM

Please do.

Malte279 · **Reply #397 on:** September 24, 2007, 05:31:17 PM
