Description: This is the history of the hidden resistance in Germany and the people behind them. Some worked for underground newspapers; other conspiracy movements were formed within unions. The Protestant and Catholic churches, the Kreisau Circle, trade unions, the foreign ministry and the civil service favored nonviolent opposition by means of passive resistance. But, by the time Hitler's regime was entrenched, this was no longer a workable option.

It was then time for action and a show of arms, for a planned coup d'etat and bomb plot.
