Gestapo Interrogation Transcripts: Gisela Schertling and Katharina Schüddekopf. Translated by Ruth Hanna Sachs.
English translation of NJ1704, Volumes 29, 17, 31 for Gisela Schertling and Katharina Schüddekopf. Files are included in the order in which the archives present them.
Fascinating juxtaposition of two women who could not have been more different. Gisela Schertling betrayed everyone in the circle of White Rose friends, including those who were on the fringe of the fringe. Her testimony, while disastrous for anyone she knew, provides extraordinary insight into the inner workings of the group.
Katharina, on the other hand, played the expected Nazi role of a young woman too naive and silly to bother her head with politics. In so doing, she covered well for friends never indicted.
