In reply to the discussion: Censorship of hate speech is an unconditional surrender to hate. [View all]Pooka Fey
(3,496 posts)45. Stating that a German Resistance existed does in NO WAY condone or excuse the evil of the 3rd Reich
and you cannot possibly know or understand how deeply I loathe and despise anyone who would propose something so vile in writing.
Moving on to your next ridiculous claim:
Germany had a few random people defying Hitler for personal reasons until he pissed off the military by losing battles they felt could have been won with better leadership.

It would be difficult to amass so scholarship over a what you claim are a few random people defying Hitler for personal reasons. I wonder how much scholarship on this topic has never been translated into English?
