Husband and wife Arvid and Mildred Harnack were members of the Red Orchestra, an anti-Nazi movement hunted down by the Gestapo in 1942. In December of that year, shortly before he was executed, Arvid wrote the following letter to his wife, content in the knowledge that his wife’s life was to be spared.
Tragically, after Arvid’s death Hitler ordered a retrial that resulted in Mildred’s execution.
James Norton joined us at Letters Live at London's Roundhouse theatre to read Arvid's final letter to his wife.
