Description

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Erika von Brockdorff (née Schönfeldt) (29 April 1911 13 May 1943) was a German resistance fighter against the Nazi régime during the Second World War. Brockdorff belonged to the Red Orchestra resistance movement. Brockdorff was born in Kolberg (Ko obrzeg), Province of Pomerania, on Pomerania's Baltic Sea coast. From 1929, after finishing middle school and housekeeping school in Magdeburg, she worked in Berlin as a housekeeper and a model, and also, after additional training in shorthand typing, as an office specialist. In 1937, she married the sculptor Graf Cay Hugo von Brockdorff, and shortly thereafter, their daughter Saskia was born. From 1941, Brockdorff put her flat at Hans Coppi's resistance movement's disposal as their radio headquarters. She was soon arrested along with the other Red Orchestra members and sent to Charlottenburg Women's Prison. She was sentenced at the Reichskriegsgericht to ten years in labour prison (Zuchthaus) in January 1943. Adolf Hitler was not satisfied with this, however, and on the very same day as the judgment, on his orders, the sentence was changed to death.
