Every artist has their pet stories: mine is that of the White Rose, a Student Resistance to the Nazis during WWII. If you're interested, the best sources to consult for information on these brave individuals are either "The White Rose" by Inge Scholl, or "A Noble Treason: The Revolt of the Munich Students Against Hitler" by Richard Hanser. I'd urge anyone interested in the true story to avoid online sources, as they tend toward the sensational, rarely the truth.

AAAANYWAY, though consulting photos of Hans and Sophie Scholl is easy enough, over time, I've developed images of them in my head. These were done quickly at the urging of a friend, so their Photoshoppy-goodness may seem a bit unpracticed. Here is Hans, Sophie, and a quick stab at the man who condemned them (pun intended), Roland Freisler. More soon!
