War Against Humanity

S1 E62019

The Few Who Opposed Hitler - German Resistance in 1940

Episode Synopsis

Were all German faithful Nazis? Not by a stretch, but a resounding majority approved of the Nazis, especially before the war, and again after the victory in France. Anyone that actively opposed Hitler and his gang were not only risking their life, but faced an uphill battle against public opinion. And yet... some people did.
