The Gerolzhofen women's uprising was a demonstration of 800 to 1,000 women and children as well as some men on April 6, 1945 against the local National Socialist leadership. The demonstrators demanded that a white flag be raised as a symbol of the surrender or handover of the city to the American army, which was about to destroy the city if resistance was offered. On April 13, 1945, from 10:00 a.m., the city was occupied by the Americans from the north without bloodshed.
