In spite of all the terrible executions, the indescribable tragedies, and the unrepented brutalities, the White Rose leaflets made their way throughout Germany and occupied Europe, bringing hope into the cells of condemned prisoners and into the last arena of humanity itself—the concentration camps. From Berlin they were also smuggled into Sweden and Switzerland, and from there were sent on to London. … Once they reached the West, the leaflets of the White Rose were reprinted—now in the tens of thousands—and dropped from Allied aircraft over the cities of Germany.
–Annette Dumbach and Jud Newborn, Sophie Scholl and the White Rose, 183
