#OTD Sophie Scholl, age 21, was executed by guillotine at Stadelheim Prison in Munich. A key member of the White Rose resistance group, she sought to overthrow the Nazi regime. My biography of this immeasurably courageous young woman will be published by Random House in 2026.

The second was Maj Gen Jackie Smyth VC, of Sittang Bridge fame.

His son, John, a captain in the Queen’s Royal Regiment (West Surreys) was killed on Jail Hill, Kohima, on 7 May 1944. Here is a letter Smyth sent to The Times on the subject in 1973.

Budapest is erasing the brutalist blight from its communist past. This building at Kossuth Square has been restored according to its original plans from the 1920s. There are many such examples around the city.
