History of Sorts
The 9th of April 1945 was picked by the Nazi’s to get rid of some those they had considered to be traitors. In fact some of these men were actually heroes, since they all had been part in one way or another(or at least were convicted of that)of trying to kill Adolf Hitler during Operation Valkyrie or the 20 July plot.
The executions by way of hanging all took place in Flossenbürg concentration camp.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer 4 February 1906 – 9 April 1945) was a German pastor, theologian, spy, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity’s role in the secular world have become widely influential, and his book The Cost of Discipleship has become a modern classic.

The statement was an attempt to combat repeated reports linking the fraternities with the far right. The reports are damaging to its image, said the DB.
