Rudolf Klug

Rudolf Klug (8 October 1905 – 28 March 1944) was a Hamburg school teacher. He became a member of the Communist Party in 1928 and suffered from growing levels of harassment at work. When the Nazi Party took power in Germany at the beginning of 1933 his problems greatly intensified: he had already been dismissed from one teaching post, and participated in (now illegal) resistance to the government.

During the war he was released from the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen and, in 1943, declared fit for military service and conscripted into the Army. A reluctant soldier, he was sent off to guard prisoners of war. After he helped a Soviet officer to escape by returning the man's gun he found himself before a military court which conferred a double death sentence on him. He was executed in northern Norway.
