STANDING UP TO HITLER: Resistance in Nazi Germany

1-251450

Explores both the military and diplomatic figures who resisted Hitler, as well as other forms of internal opposition that predated Nazi control of the Reichstag in 1933. It highlights the tens of thousands who were imprisoned, tortured, or executed for standing against the dictatorship. The elites who welcomed the end of Weimar democracy were often more willing to accommodate Hitler, but many others who were motivated by religious, political, or humane beliefs refused to compromise, showing immense courage and sacrifice. Contains 16 pages of black and white plates.
