Sophie Scholl’s childhood; the Great Depression. Hitler Youth, League of German Maidens. Von Schirach’s indoctrination, at school. Hans and Sophie disillusioned. Hans and Paragraph 175. Kristallnacht; “Aryan” zones. “Degenerate Art”. WW2. Reich Labour Service. Sophie and Hans at University of Munich; Willi Graf, Alexander Schmorell and Christoph Probst. The Warsaw Ghetto. Operation Barbarossa, Graf was sent to Russia. “The White Rose” formed. Leaflets, tactics. Scholl, Schmorell, and Graf medics in Russia. Kurt Huber, "Appeal to all Germans!” The Battle of Stalingrad; “Total War”. Hans and Sophie arrested: trial and execution; other WR members tried and executed.

20 questions for the c. 19-minute film. Differentiated. Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues.Good subtitles: scripted, not auto-generated. Questions right up to the end, no slack time. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files.

Please check that you can access the video before you download these sheets. All the links work when I upload. If my links no longer work, the videos may still be found elsewhere on YouTube etcetera.
