Meet Kate Tucholla.  She was an excellent and avid field hockey player in school and at club level in Germany.  Around the fields she met her husband, Felix Tucholla, who was active in the political scene.  They both joined the Combat Community for Red Sports Unit.

Soon they were both active in the anti-fascist movement.  Kate acted as a courier driver and also helped to find housing for persecuted anti-fascists.  In a mtter of 3 days in July, 1942, both were arrested.  Both were executed in September 1943.

This stamp is one of a pair, the other depicting Ms. Tucholla in field hockey action.  That pair and 4 other constitute a nice set honoring German athletes killed resisting.  The stamp was issued in 1963.
