lenins-little-potato: Helmuth Günther Hübener was the youngest open opponent and anti-propagandist of the Theird Reich in Germany. It was highly unusual for the Nazis to try an underaged defendant, much less sentence him to death, but the court stated that Hübener had shown more than average intelligence for a boy his age. This, along with his general and political knowledge, and his behaviour before the court, made Hübener, in the court’s eyes, a boy with a far more developed mind than was usually to be found in someone of his age. For this reason, the court stated, Hübener was to be punished as an adult. This picture was taken at the age of 16, shortly before his execution.  “I know that God lives and He will be the Just Judge in this matter. I look forward to seeing you in a better world!” -Helmuth Hübener
