On this day in 1944, the Gestapo publicly hanged 13 members of the anti-Nazi Ehrenfeld Group without trial, near Cologne, Germany.

The Ehrenfeld Group consisted of over one hundred people, some of whom also participated in the local Edelweiss Pirates organization, was led by Hans Steinbrück, an escaped concentration camp prisoner. They engaged in many acts of rebellion against the Nazi regime, including petty theft, escaping prisoners, and stealing and hiding weapons.

After a botched attempt at stealing explosives, on October 8th, 1944, the Gestapo began arresting members of the group, eventually capturing 63 people, including Steinbrück himself. Of those, thirteen Germans, including several teenagers, were executed without trial in a public hanging next to the Ehrenfeld train station on November 10th, 1944.
