This film is based on historical facts,

as yet unpublished transcripts, and new interviews with witnesses.

THE FINAL DAYS

Sugar, I call my baby my sugar

I never maybe my sugar That sugar baby of mine

He's special ration

Funny, he never asks for my money

All I give him is honey

And that he can spend anytime

I'd make a million trips to lips If I were a bee

Because he's sweeter than chocolate candy to me

I have to go.

What are you up to?

Gisela.

- I see. - Come on. Let's go.

See you tomorrow at noon.

- In front of the Seehaus? - Yes.

- Tell Hans to call me. - I'll tell him.

Has he calmed down again?

You shouldn't have yelled at him.

He's already forgotten.

It's about time you came.

Come on. Keep going.

- Is that all? - All that was left.

Our people are shattered by our losses at Stalingrad.

The Führer's brilliant strategy sent 330,000 German troops

to a senseless death.

I'm sure Willi would appreciate your help.

Here are the stamps...

and the list of names.

Thank you, Willi.

What about the rest?

I'll hand them out on campus.

Are you crazy?

Things almost ignited when students revolted at the Deutsches Museum.

That's why the Gestapo is on red alert!

And our slogans on every wall.

We'll hide the rest until we get new envelopes.

They've run out. Paper shortage.

Writing on walls at night

is risky enough.

But handing out leaflets in broad daylight! You're crazy!

We have to take action now!

Nazi informers infiltrated the campus after Stalingrad!

When the Bolshevists get here,

- they'll wipe them out! - You wouldn't want them

to get here before the Yanks do!

It's insane! Don't do it!

I'll go in during the lecture. No one will be in the atrium.

I'll be in and out within seconds.

Too risky.

I'll take the responsibility.

I alone.

You want to take a full suitcase through Schwabing now?

I will.

- Don't let Sophie... - It's easier for women to get through.

She's right.

Okay...

March!

Alex, see you tomorrow at 12.

Tomorrow?

The Nazis don't wait either.

Thank you.

- Don't stay up too long. - Good night.

Good night.

Dear Lisa,

I'm listening to the "Trout Quintet."

In Schubert's piece, you can feel and smell the breezes,

hear the birds crying out for joy.

The piano repeats the motif

like cold, sparkling water...

It's so enchanting.

Please, write soon.

Lots of love, Sophie.

You think Mother has any jam left? Our ration cards only get us syrup.

Inconspicuous enough?

The campus will ignite today.

Yes.

- Good morning. - Morning.

We're going to the Psychiatry Dept.

Sophie's going to Ulm. I'll be right there.

Come on!

Come on, let's get out of here!

Come on!

- There are some left in the suitcase. - What?

- There aren't any upstairs. Wait! - I'll go with you.

Let's get out of here!

Stop! Don't move!

Stop! At once!

I said stop, damn it!

- What's wrong? - You're under arrest!

Hands off!

You were upstairs!

- We were in the Psychology Dept. - No!

- You dropped those leaflets! - Nonsense!

Let him go. I dropped them down.

I'm going to report you.

You're both coming with me!

This will have consequences!

On my campus.

"Our people are shattered by our losses..."

Come in!

So many?

Incredible!

- Is that all? - Yes, sir.

Dismissed!

Schmidt, write a report!

We'll slap those rosy cheeks!

There! That student is hiding something!

Give me that!

Another leaflet!

Give it to me! Or should we force you?

This is all part of it.

Mohr, police.

Here are the two suspects.

- And the defamatory leaflet. - I saw them...

Your IDs.

Yes.

- Brother and sister? - Yes.

The weaker sex.

21 years old.

So, this is the anti-German resistance that has gripped Europe?

That young man tried to tear up this paper.

Another student gave it to me. I wanted to destroy it to avoid incrimination.

Is this your suitcase?

It's mine.

Take them away!

I've arranged for the university

to be completely sealed off. Neither the staff

- nor the administration may leave. - Yes, sir.

Of course, I will also stay here.

- Go home and tell Alex not to wait for me! - Quiet!

Scholl, Hans, to Mahler for interrogation!

Hurry up, Fraeulein.

Remove handcuffs.

Thank you.

Investigator Mohr

Come on!

Have a seat.

Scholl, Sophia Magdalena

from Ulm.

Born on 9 May, 1921 in Forchtenberg. Protestant.

Father?

Robert Scholl. He was the mayor of Forchtenberg.

Completed training as a children's nurse?

Yes.

Second residence in Munich 23,

Franz Joseph Strasse 13, c/o Schmidt?

Yes.

- Previous convictions? - No.

You admitted to the janitor that you dropped these leaflets from the gallery.

They were lying on the marble banister. I gave them a shove as I passed by.

Why?

Playing pranks is part of my nature. I confessed immediately.

I realize that it was stupid of me.

I regret it now.

The leaflets you dropped at university

fall under the jurisdiction of special wartime law.

Want to read what you get for high treason and aiding the enemy?

I have nothing to do with it.

A prison sentence or death.

I really have nothing to do with it.

A cigarette?

No, thanks.

You do smoke?

Now and then.

Fits perfectly.

A coincidence.

Why did you take an empty suitcase to the university?

I was on my way home to Ulm to pick up the laundry I gave my mother last week.

Ulm?

Such a long trip in the middle of the week?

- Yes. - Just for laundry?

No. I also wanted to see my girlfriend's new-born child.

And my mother is ill.

Why the middle of the week? Why so suddenly?

My girlfriend is leaving for Hamburg sooner.

I wanted to catch the 12:48 express.

I was meeting my sister's boyfriend at Central Station.

- His name? - Otto Aicher.

He arrived in Munich...

at 11:30.

With "Ei"?

With "Ai."

Didn't you have any dirty laundry for Ulm?

No, I wash small things by hand.

So you have no need for clean laundry,

but you say you were taking an empty suitcase for clean laundry.

For laundry I might need in the next few weeks.

Why were you on campus then?

I had a date with a girlfriend. Gisela Schertling.

We wanted to have lunch at 12.

Although you were going to Ulm?

I changed my mind last night. I wanted to tell Gisela I couldn't come.

Why was your brother with you on campus?

You only wanted to cancel a date.

We often go to the university together. Hans was going to the Psychiatry Dept.

The janitor says you were on the 2nd-floor gallery at 11 o'clock.

What for?

We were going to meet Gisela, who was at Prof. Huber's lecture
