The German Opposition to Hitler : The Resistance, the Underground and Assassination Plots, 1938-1945

This history of the various segments of the German resistance movement covers groups and methods from underground newspapers to conspiracy movements within unions.

While emphasizing the active plots to either arrest or assassinate Hitler, the work embraces also the passive resistance seen in the Protestant and Catholic churches, the Kreisau Circle, trade unions, the foreign ministry and the civil service.

The opposition's planned coup d'etat of 1938 is fully detailed, as well as the deep involvement of the Abwehr (military intelligence) in the plots against Hitler.
