    Helmuth Hübener

    Helmuth Günther Hübener (–42), a member of the Church in Hamburg, Germany, was the youngest person of the German resistance to Nazism executed by order of the Special People’s Court (Volksgerichtshof) in Berlin.

Wobbe, Schnibbe, and Düwer were sentenced to hard labor and remained in prison camps until the end of World War II.
