As a founding member of the White Rose student resistance in Munich during World War II, Sophie Scholl helped write, produce and distribute thousands of anti-Nazi leaflets. Her boyfriend, Captain Fritz Hartnagel, was forced to serve in Hitler's Army. Officer Hartnagel wrote to his girlfriend about his witnessing of SS and German army atrocities. Both Fritz and Sophie were changed by their correspondence, translated here into English for the first time. Their relationship demonstrates the moral complexity of living in a totalitarian society, and is ultimately a timeless love story.
