Abstract

This article focuses on Hermann Danz, a German resistance fighter against the National Socialists (Nazis) in Germany. Several topics are discussed, such as how Danz led a resistance group in Magdeburg, Germany along with German men including Hans Schellheimer, Fritz Rödel, and Hubert Materlik after the Nazis took over the leadership in 1933, how Danz was arrested because he was a leader in the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and how the wives, children, and families of these men joined them in their resistance work. Also discussed is that the resistance fighter and KPD member Eva Lippold received one of the harshest punishments given to a woman during that time for her involvement in Danz's group, and how social democrats, anti-fascists, and Jews were also involved in Danz's group.
