History
The story chronicles Helmuth Hubener's years in school and his first job after graduation. Helmuth takes an apprenticeship at the Bieberhaus, which is the Social Welfare Department at City Hall. Although originally proud of the Fatherland and an enthusiastic participant in the Jungvolk, the Hitler Youth group, Helmuth begins to become disillusioned as Nazi power and policies spread in Germany. Helmuth and a group of friends including Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, Rudolf Wobbe, and Gerhard Duwer, monitored Allied radio broadcasts, which gave an accurate portrayal of the progress of the war in Europe rather than the version told thru Axis propaganda. Helmuth and his friends were all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The friends printed pamphlets that were critical of Nazi Germany atrocities and distributed them to the public. Their activities were discovered by a co-worker of Helmuth's at the Bieberhaus and Helmuth was turned into the Gestapo, where he was interogated, beaten, and arrested. His friends received lighter sentences for their crimes. A brief trial for "show" was held at the People's Court or Volksgerichtshof, and at age seventeen, Helmuth Hubener was executed at Plotzensee Prison in Berlin, becoming the youngest person in history executed for opposing the Third Reich.
