Protest in Hitler's National Community

That Hitlers Gestapo harshly suppressed any signs of opposition inside the Third Reich is a common misconception. This book presents studies of public dissent that prove this was not always the case. It examines circumstances under which racial Germans were motivated to protest, as well as the conditions determining the regimes response. Workers, women, and religious groups all convinced the Nazis to appease rather than repress racial Germans. Expressions of discontent actually increased during the war, and Hitler remained willing to compromise in governing the German Volk as long as he thought the Reich could salvage victory.
