| Abstract | Mildred Fish (1902-1943) was of English ancestry, but grew up in the heavily German immigrant west side of Milwaukee. She married Arvid Harnack, a German lawyer and economist, and went to Germany with him when he returned in 1929. Both began working for one of the most significant early resistance groups inside the Third Reich. She and her husband were arrested in late 1942; her husband was executed shortly thereafter for treason, and Mildred was at first imprisoned, but later re-tried and sentenced to death in 1943. |
