This bachelor's thesis analyzes the effect of a university nonviolent resistance movement in Nazi Germany, operating from 1942 to 1943. Using foreign literature, the author explains the reasons why the movement was founded, and the consequences and impact the resistance movement had on German citizens. Through an analysis of the socio-political circumstances and the wartime position of Nazi Germany, the influence of National Socialism, and the importance of propaganda and political repression, one responds to the reasons for the resistance of German citizens to the Nazi regime, and consequently the creation of a resistance movement. Emphasis is placed on the work and activities of the White Rose, addressing the chapters of the origin of the name, the reasons for its founding, the CV of the members and the means of action - especially leaflets, and to a lesser extent, graffiti. The influence of the state of war, especially the Battle of Stalingrad, on the effect of the movement, as well as the reasons for the failure or success of the resistance movement, which culminates in the trial and death of the protagonist, are also mentioned. Finally is cited the legacy that is left by the movement and its relationship with other movements, as well as external factors, such as its relationship with the Western Allies.
