The short article about the trial & death sentence of Ludwig Cyranek caught my eye.
From : Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Third Reich: sectarian politics under persecution
By M. James Penton, page 183
Not all Witness activity outside prisons and concentration camps stopped. Local groups reorganized, often with women playing important roles. In a subsection headed “The Stream Continues to Flow,” the 1974 Yearbook gives an account of how tow Witness men, with the help of a number of women, continued to mimeograph and distribute The Watchtower in many parts of Germany during much of the war even though this courted execution. What happened was that loyal Witness, Ludwig Cyranek, wrote letters containing non-controversial information to these women. But written in invisible lemon juice on the same letters were instructions telling them where to take copies of The Watchtower and how many. On receiving the letters, the women simply pressed them with a hot iron and the messages became visible. Eventually Cyranek was arrested on information given to the Gestapo by a Witness traitor named Mueller, and on 3 July 1941 he was executed.
