Hitler's Traitors: German resistance to the Nazis

This is the story of some of the groups and individuals that opposed Hitler and his government and tells of their heroic efforts to rid themselves of the most evil regime in modern times.

They came from many different backgrounds - Protestant pastors, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Niemoeller; the Catholic Bishop of Münster, Clements Galen and his cousin Konrad, Count von Preysing, Bishop of Berlin; politicians Otto Wels and Ernst Thälmann; students Hans and Sophie Scholl and their friends Christoph Probst and Alexander Schmorell; university professor Kurt Huber; military men Claus von Stauffenberg and Admiral Wilhelm Canaris and even a member of the Waffen SS, Kurt Gerstein.

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.
