On this day, 16 February 1943, German American translator, writer and anti-Nazi resistance activist Mildred Fish-Harnack was beheaded in Berlin: the only woman to be executed on dictator Adolf Hitler’s personal orders. Part of the so-called “Red Orchestra” of socialist anti-fascist underground activists, she was tried and sentenced to hard labour, but then retried on Hitler’s direction and sentenced to death. She and her group assisted Jews and forced labourers, recruited other resistance activists and distributed anti-fascist propaganda. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1653200031531807/?type=3
