Justizvollzugsanstalt München
In late autumn 1943, Leipelt and Jahn were denounced for collecting money for the widow of the executed Professor Kurt Huber, and were arrested along with 19 other activists. Hans Leipelt was sentenced to death on 13 October 1944 in Donauwörth by the "Volksgerichtshof" accused of being a traitor for listening to foreign broadcasters, the destruction of military forces and harbouring "enemy favouritism". Jahn was given a 12-year labour prison ("Zuchthaus") sentence. Hans Leipelt was executed via guillotine on 29 January 1945 in Stadelheim Prison. Leipelt's corpse was buried in the cemetery in Perlacher Forest.
