Her full name was Sophia Magdalena Scholl. The family lived in Ludwigsburg, Germany from the summer of 1930 till spring of 1932, after which they moved to Ulm and finally to Munich where Sophie attended a secondary school for girls. At the age of twelve, she was required to join the Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls) as most young women at the time, but her initial enthusiasm gradually gave way to strong criticism. She was aware of the dissenting political views of her father, of friends, and also of some of her teachers. Political attitude had become an essential criterion in her choice of friends. The arrest of her brothers and friends in 1937 for participating in the German Youth Movement left a strong impression on her.After leaving school in 1940 Sophie became a kindergarten teacher at the Froebel Institute in Ulm-Soflingen. She had chosen this kindergarten job hoping that it would be recognized as an alternate service to 'Reichsarbeitsdienst' (National Labour Service), a prerequisite to be admitted to the University. However this was mistake as policy dictated that she had to serve six months of auxiliary war service as a nursery teacher in Blumberg. The military-like regimen of the Labour Service which caused her to change her views of National Socialism and eventually practice passive resistance. In May 1942, she would finally enrol at the University of Munich as a student of biology and philosophy. Her brother Hans Scholl, who was studying medicine there, introduced her to his friends. Hans spent two years in the military,  and  was a medic serving on the Eastern front, along with with friends; Alexander Schmorell, Will Graf and Jurgen Wittenstein in 1942.
Although this group of friends were eventually known for their political affairs, they were initially drawn together by a shared love of art, music, literature, philosophy and theology. Hiking in the mountains, skiing and swimming were also of importance. They often attended concerts, plays and lectures together.

The group decided to use passive resistance.This included publishing leaflets calling for the restoration of democracy and social justice. These leaflets were distributed throughout central Germany and the Gestapo soon became aware of the group's activities. They had went against six Nazi- Third Reich Policies.Then they began to call themselves the WHite Rose. They had also wanted people(German)to also passively resist the Nazi Regime. When they had been studying they had been horrified by the behaviour of the Germans on the Eastern Front.They had witnesses a group of naked Jews get shot in a pit.The main people in the White Rose were, Hans Scholl, Alex Schmorell, Willi Graf, Sophie Scholl and Christoph Probst, plus almost all of these people were in their early twenties. Also members were Hans and Sophie's sister Inge Scholl, and a professor of philosophy, Kurt Huber. Sophie also joined the group, however contrary to popular belief, she was not a co-author of the articles.Her brother had been initially keen to keep her ignorant of their activities, but once she discovered his activities, she joined him and proved invaluable to the group: as a female, her chances of being randomly stopped by the SS were much smaller.(They should use her as an undercover dog, because an SS would take and question the male instead of the female).
Between June 1942 and February 1943, they prepared and distributed six different leaflets, and each one called for the active opposition of the German people to Nazi oppression and tyranny. The group had been cut by half, during the academic break, because the some of the group member were sent to the Eastern Front to go fight for the Germans.

In January 1943, using a hand-operated duplicating machine(Or what is known as a printer), the group is thought to have produced between 6,000 and 9,000 copies of their fifth leaflet, "Appeal to all Germans!", which was distributed by a voice carrier. (where they were mailed).Copies appeared in Stuttgart, Cologne, Vienna, Freiburg, Chemnitz, Hamburg, and Berlin. Composed by Hans Scholl with improvements by Huber, the leaflet warned that Hitler was leading Germany into the garbage dump.The leaflet also said something about the gathering might of the Allies, defeat was now certain. The reader was urged to "Support The Resistance Movement" in the struggle for "Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and protection of the individual citizen from the arbitrary action of criminal dictator-states". These were the principles that would form "the foundations of the new Europe".Huber drafted the final two leaflets.Then a draft of a seventh leaflet, written by Christoph Probst, was found in the possession of Hans Scholl at the time of his arrest by the Gestapo, the Gestapo destroyed it. The leaflets caused a sensation, and the Gestapo initiated an intensive search for the publishers.On February 18, 1943, the Scholl's brought a suitcase full of leaflets to the university. They tried to sneak and hurried to drop copies in the empty corridors for students to find when they flooded out of lecture rooms. Leaving before the class break, the Scholl's noticed that some copies remained in the suitcase and decided it would be a pity not to distribute them. They returned to the atrium and climbed the staircase to the top floor, and Sophie flung the last remaining leaflets into the air.]]> 2018-02-14 19:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/khylil_willis/52wd7z204bcx/wish/231685831 Sophie Scholl's Court Case & Death(Paraphrased) khylil_willis https://padlet.com/khylil_willis/52wd7z204bcx/wish/231686815             Unfortunately,this action was observed by the custodian Jakob Schmid.
