Sophie Scholl
Sophie Scholl was an anti-Nazi political activist. After she was caught distributing anti-war leaflets with her brother Hans at the LMU, she was convicted of high treason. Tragically, they were both sentenced to death and executed by guillotine.

Real Life Popeye
This photo was taken in September 1940 and depicts a leading stoker who was nicknamed “Popeye,” after the animated sailor man. He worked on the HMS Rodney, which was one of two Nelson-class battleships for the Royal Navy. While he was not the inspiration for the cartoon, he certainly bears a canny resemblance to him.
