Ordinary people. The courage to say no...
Maybe we'll find the courage to stand up to the NRA!!
A figure identified as August Landmesser is featured in a photograph taken on June 13, 1936, published on March 22, 1991 in Die Zeit. It shows a large gathering of workers at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg, for the launching of the Navy training ship Horst Wessel. Everyone in the image has raised his or her arm in the Nazi salute, with the exception of a man toward the back of the crowd, who grimly stands with his arms crossed over his chest. Whether the depicted man is Landmesser is not known with certainty; calls to definitively identify him have gone unanswered, and his daughter Irene is not sure.
