A security guard at an anti-lockdown rally in Germany  quit on the spot after the speaker compared herself to Sophie Scholl, the Nazi resistance fighter who was executed by Adolf Hitler’s regime aged just 22.

Footage shows a speaker telling the gathering: “I feel like Sophie Scholl because I have been in the resistance for months making speeches … I am 22, just like Sophie Scholl before she fell victim to the Nazis. I can and never will give up to stand for freedom, love and justice.”

At this point a security guard walks up to the speaker and hands back his high-vis vest, stating: “I won’t go along with such bullshit.. for such bullshit I do not make security.”

He then adds: “With the best will in the world – this is trivializing the Holocaust.”  He was then ushered away from the stage by police.

The video was shot at a demo earlier this week in Hanover.

The legendary Sophie Scholl fought the Nazis with her brother and other members of the resistance group White Rose. She has been cited as an example of how young people should stand up for their principles.

After distributing flyers at a Munich University, she was convicted of high treason and was executed by guillotine by the Nazis in 1943, aged 22.

At least another 13 members of the group, including her brother, Hans Scholl, were beheaded by the Nazis.
