Wikipedia
Werner Krauss (7 June 1900 – 28 August 1976) was a German university professor (Romance studies).
During the 1940s he became a political activist and resistance fighter against the Nazi regime. In 1943 he was found guilty of preparing to commit high treason and condemned to death. Following the intervention of influential fellow-intellectuals the sentence was commuted to a five-year prison term in 1944.
