This is the story of the groups and individuals that opposed Hitler and his government and tells of their heroic, but largely ineffective, efforts to rid themselves of the most evil regime in modern times. They came from many different backgrounds - Protestant pastors, catholic bishops, politicians, military men, students and even a member of the Waffen SS. Sadly, by the time the Nazi regime came to an end most of those Germans who had resisted it were dead, arrested, imprisoned, tried and executed in the most barbaric manner.
