Yes, beheaded.

Hans and Sophie Scholl and Christoph Probst were found guilty of treason and Roland Freisler, head judge of the court, sentenced them to death. The three were executed by guillotine the same day. All three were noted for the courage with which they faced their deaths, particularly Sophie.

Alexander Schmorell and Kurt Huber were beheaded on July 13, 1943, and Willi Graf on 12 October 1943.

That bastard Freisler was ultimately killed in an air raid.
