Description

2022 marks the 80 year anniversary of the White Rose resistance against Nazism. The White Rose was made up of 5 students and an academic in Munich, who saw the atrocities of the Nazi regime and knew that somebody had to stand up against it. At great personal risk, they typed up anti-nazi rhetoric and disseminated it across universities in the hopes of stopping World War 2, and preventing the Nazi party from further bloodshed. Eventually giving their lives, this important story is being shared by Alexandra LLoyd from Oxford University, providing a detailed explanation of what happened, and what lessons can be learnt from this remarkable sacrifice.The Senior Producer was Elena Guthrie. The Assistant Producer was Aidan Lonergan.Edited and mixed by Annie ColoeExtracts performed by Sophia FabianFor more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare Wednesday newsletter here.
