It’s a now-iconic photo of civil disobedience: A German man standing at a rally in 1936 Hamburg refuses to give the Nazi salute.

The photo lay unnoticed for nearly 55 years, resurfacing in 1991, when one of the children of August Landmesser identified the disobedient man as her father when the photo appeared in a German newspaper (via BuzzFeed: The German Guy Who Refused To Give A Nazi Salute Was A Badass)

Yes. Yes, he was.
