The German Resistance Movement refers to various groups and individuals in Germany who opposed the Nazi regime during World War II. This movement included a range of activities, from passive resistance to active plots against Adolf Hitler and the government. Notable figures included Claus von Stauffenberg, who led the failed assassination attempt in 1944, and members of the White Rose group, which distributed anti-Nazi leaflets. Despite facing severe repercussions, including imprisonment and execution, these resistance efforts aimed to undermine the Nazi ideology and restore democracy in Germany. The movement highlighted the moral courage of those who stood against tyranny, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
