Frieda Melzen from Dellstedt in the district of Dithmarschen had a radio repaired in 1944, which her brother had received. She heard news about the war situation via foreign radio stations and told the villagers about it the next day, after which she was denounced. The People's Court sentenced her to death for undermining military morale; her plea for clemency was rejected. On October 6, 1944, Melzen, who was the mother of three children and 31 years old, was executed in Plötzensee. #WirVergessenNicht #SayHerName #WWII #FriedaMelzen #Gedenkenswürdig (translated)
