Hans Scholl: February 22

"The name of Germany is dishonoured for all time if German youth does not finally rise, take revenge, smash its tormentors. Students! The German people look to us."

Hans Scholl, with his sister Sophie, founded the White Rose movement to try and resist the Nazis.
They were arrested and then both beheaded on February 22nd 1943.
He worked underground, and didn't send out press releases about himself.
Hans was a true gay revolutionary.
His last words were; "Es lebe die freiheit!" - "Long live freedom!"
