“I had the honor of becoming close friends with Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, the last surviving member of this teenage Nazi resistance group. Before his passing, Karl entrusted us with their story—what they stood for, and what Helmuth Hübener gave his life for at just 17. Their stand in 1941 against lies and tyranny is more than history—it’s a warning. In a time of rising authoritarianism, the courage to speak the truth matters more than ever,” Russ Kendall, producer of Truth & Treason.
