In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. A year later, all parties except the Nazi Party were banned, press freedom was a distant memory, and Hitler's power seemed absolute. However, the German resistance soon emerged. Groups of conspirators, including soldiers, schoolteachers, politicians, diplomats, theologians, and even a carpenter, repeatedly attempted to end the Führer's bloody reign. This book tells the story of the resistance, shedding new light on its psychological, social, and military dynamics, as well as on the reasons behind the decision to assassinate Hitler. Drawing on specific observations, the author draws more general conclusions: why do some people choose active resistance, despite mortal risk, while others do not? Who is most likely to become a resistance fighter? And what can we learn about the complex and changing motivations that drive people to this path?
