The story of the White Rose resistance movement is not generally known in the narrative of Nazi Germany, it falls within the many other resistance movements that appeared to be more effective than the White Rose. Yet, many scholars overlook that the leaflets the White Rose wrote played a role in the resistance to the Nazi government. My paper addre...
Political persuasion often comes with religious undertones. The story of the Third Reich is an example of this phenomenon. In the face of the devastation wrought by World War I and the penalties against Germany issued in the Treaty of Versailles, Germans struggled to rebuild their lives and their country. The Treaty threatened to divide the German ...
provided by God. In response to these socio-economic, political, and religious pressures, Adolf Hitler presented a model of governance that led many Germans to believe that they, as a nation, could once again be great. Yet, not everyone agreed with Hitler's ideology or his Hitler's rise to power. The White Rose emerged in resistance to Hitler, hopi...
There were many forms of resistance during Hitler’s reign. These resistance movements increased as the Nazi regime grew in power, and the desire for change amongst Germans increased. James Zabelexplained, those who did not agree with Hitler’s government decisions revolted in different ways. “During the war, resistance-- in the sense of principled a...
The goal of this research is to explore how the White Rose used religious rhetoric to politically persuade the German people to resist the Third Reich. I will analyze each of the six leaflets that the White Rose distributed to Germans all over the country by mail or by drop point. I will examine how the religious language, that is used in the Bible...
Members of the White Rose wrote leaflets in opposition to Hitler. An analysis of these leaflets reveals that the White Rose used five major Christian religious themes. These themes include spiritual corruption, the yoke of slavery, faith in God, moral duty, and freedom. In what follows, I describe each theme and examine how the White Rose discussed...
Spiritual corruption is a dishonest, inauthentic spirit of Christ. The spirit can be corrupted by two factors, internal and external influences. It takes internal influences of the self to accept the external influences that arguably would corrupt the soul. When someone stands for nothing they will fall for anything, their soul is weak and falls pr...
The White Rose drew an interesting comparison and distinction between faith in God and a moral duty. For the most part the White Rose seemed to consider these themes one in the same, however, they address Christians as believers but also Germans, who care about their country and the protection of its people. After the picture of having no direction...
notice that the Third Reich was about to end and it would not be in victory. After the many different leaflets written and spoke about multiple ideas and criticisms, the White Rose calls for resistance for the last time. “Our people stand ready to rebel against the National Socialist enslavement of Europe in a fervent new breakthrough of freedom an...
The White Rose risked their lives to fight an evil unlike any the modern world had seen. Adolf Hitler was a force to be reckoned with, and the White Rose, as well as many other resistance movements, wanted to save Germany from destruction. Some were violent in their resistance and others were passive, but resistant nonetheless. It would be a dishon...
Nothing is so unworthy of a civilized nation as allowing itself to be “governed” without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct. It is certain that today every honest German is ashamed of his government. Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when one day the ...
It is impossible to engage in intellectual discourse with National Socialist Philosophy, for if there were such an entity, one would have to try by means of analysis and discussion either to prove its validity or to combat it. In actuality, however, we face a totally different situation. At its very inception this movement depended on the deception...
Salus publica suprema lex All ideal forms of government are utopias. A state cannot be constructed on a purely theoretical basis; rather, it must grow and ripen in the way an individual human being matures. But we must not forget that at the starting point of every civilization the state was already there in rudimentary form. The family is as old a...
There is an ancient maxim that we repeat to our children: "He who won't listen will have to feel." But a wise child will not burn his fingers the second time on a hot stove. In the past weeks Hitler has choked up successes in Africa and in Russia. In consequence, optimism on the one hand and distress and pessimism on the other have grown within the...
A Call to All Germans! The war is approaching its destined end. As in the year 1918, the German government is trying to focus attention exclusively on the growing threat of submarine warfare, while in the East the armies are constantly in retreat and invasion in imminent in the West. Mobiliation in the United States has not yet reached its climax, ...
The imperialist ideology of force, from whatever side it comes, must be shattered for all time. A one sided Prussian militarism must never again be allowed to assume power. Only in large-scale cooperation among the nations of Europe can the ground be prepared for reconstruction. Centralized hegemony, such as the Prussian state has tried to exercise...
Fellow Fighters in the Resistance! Shaken and broken, our people behold the loss of the men of Stalingrad. Three hundred and thirty thousand German men have been senselessly and irresponsibly driven to death and destruction by the inspired strategy of our World War I Private First Class. Fuhrer, we thank you! The German people are in ferment. Will ...
