By Sergio Sarri
In response to 'My German Question'
(February 10, 2000)
To the Editors:
On "My German Question" by Peter Gay [NYR, February 10]: the short introduction to the article says that "…the Scholls were caught and guillotined in 1943." But they were not guillotined; Hans and Sophie were beheaded with an ax.
