I just have difficulty taking this particular viewpoint seriously.
There are books about the two dozen assassination attempts against Hitler, some by ordinary people and some by the Nazis themselves. There are thousands of books about various pockets of resistance. Innumerable films.
To say ‘they didn’t try hard enough’ is, to me, just nonsense.
Yeah there was plenty of resistance from various quarters it just got smashed quickly and wasn’t coordinated enough. Born again Christians were vehemently opposed to the regime for example and suffered harshly for it. Obviously all the lefties etc. too.
On the flip side the Nazis did win over a significant percentage of the population through the late 1930s because of how well the economy was doing, it just never went to a plebiscite so we’ll never know the exact numbers.
What happened next?
Putting him in prison didnt stop him. It clearly was not enough.
