Red Orchestra

Die Rote Kapelle (Red Orchestra) was the name created by the Gestapo for two supposedly Communist resistance rings in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. The Gestapo used the name Red Orchestra to refer to the Schulze-Boysen group, a ring of anti-Hitler Germans with only a tenuous connection to the Soviet Union. The Gestapo also used the name Red Orchestra to refer to the Trepper espionage group of European Communists.
