The value lies in providing a more realistic report on the experience of being part of the Hitler Youth. It reveals how some children were first convinced but then later rebelled against its ideologies thus suffering the consequences. Another value is that, it is based on facts and uses the transcripts of Scholl's actual interrogation and trial, so it is an important primary source. It is also told in a chronology of events entirely from Sophie's perspective, with minimal backstory.
