Odd fact: the students were guilloutined. Seems a strange way for the Nazis to execute someone.

Much better than some others, which included being stipped naked and slowly hanged (strangled) with a thin wire, like Bonhoeffer.

Time will soon come when more roses will need to fall before the faceless tyranny of Progressism/Islamization/Statism. Soom we all must make a choice—what is easy and what is right. Many will lose there lives, jobs, standing, and all they have. Will you be one of them?

From wikipedia:

In 1933, Adolf Hitler had a guillotine constructed and tested. He was impressed enough to order 20 more constructed and pressed into immediate service. National Socialist records indicate that between 1933 and 1945, 16,500 people were executed by guillotine in Germany and Austria. It was used for the last time in West Germany in 1949 (in the execution of Richard Schuh) and in East Germany in 1966 (in the execution of Horst Fischer). In Switzerland it was used for the last time by the canton of Obwalden in the execution of murderer Hans Vollenweider in 1940.

If memory serves, most of Germany's executions before “Das tausend Jahr Reich” was beheading by axe except for Saxony which used the Guillotine.
