This is from 17.4
Alle Mitglieder der „Weißen Rose“ wurden von der Gestapo verhaftet und zum Tode verurteilt.
All members of the "White Rose" were arrested by Gestapo and sentenced to death.
I have read that single syllable masculine and neuter nouns can have a "e" added in the dative, but that it old fashioned although still not unusual in formal writing.
Is it normal to use it when friends are chatting as in this instance? Maybe it is a bit awkward to say "Tod verurteilt"?
