THE KREISAU CIRCLE



“The law, which has been trampled on, must be restored and given authority over all orders of human existence.

Freedom of belief and conscience is guaranteed.        

Destruction of the totalitarian constraint upon conscience and acknowledgement of the invioable dignity of the human person as the foundation of the legal and international order has to be aimed at.”

- Basic Principles for the New Order. [Quoted from Third Reich Sourcebook]

                As we the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, admire and respect the German Resistance against Nazism, we will post information about the Kreisau Circle from Wikipedia and other links where we will not forget these heroes.

   

The von Moltke mansion at Kreisau / Krzyżowa
The Kreisau Circle (German: Kreisauer Kreis ingle) was the name the Nazi Gestapo gave to a group of German dissidents centered on the estate of Helmuth James Graf von Moltke at Kreisau, Silesia (now Krzyżowa, Poland). It is regarded as one of the main centers of German opposition to the Nazi regime. The difficulty for all such dissidents was how to reconcile patriotic loyalty to Germany with opposition to the Nazis, once the Nazis had subverted the state to such an extent that the two were almost inextricable.
