Nehrling-Eberling resistance group

The Nehrling-Eberling resistance group was an SPD resistance group originating from Weimar, active during the National Socialist era, as well as most of the Second World War. The group was established circa 1933 by Kurt Nehrling, a local SPD politician, before later involving local SPD secretary Hanz Eberling. The group's existence almost became known by the Gestapo after the dismantling of the New Beginnings resistance network, likewise with Nehrling's arrest. Due to the imprisonment of individual members such as the founder Nehrling, the cell was forced to temporarily cease operating. It is generally assumed that it resumed in existence throughout the remainder of the Second World War.[1]
