Interesting Facts

• The most well-known assassination attempt on Hitler's life was the July 20, 1944, plot led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, which resulted in the execution of over 5,000 people.
• The White Rose was a non-violent resistance group composed of students from the University of Munich who distributed anti-Nazi leaflets and graffiti.
• The Kreisau Circle was a group of German intellectuals and military officers who met to discuss plans for a post-Nazi Germany and were eventually arrested and executed for their involvement in the resistance.

From Backside:

Far from being willing participants in the Wehrmacht's march across the world, many Germans openly or covertly opposed the Nazi regime. Religious leaders, students and even his own generals conspired against Hitler through anti-Nazi material, sabotage and several unsuccessful assassination attempts.
