When we think of those who stood up, spoke out, and took covert action against the Nazis, it is the French resistance, Greek partisans, and other clandestine networks in occupied Europe that usually come to mind. Yet, some brave German souls also sought to undermine or even overthrow the Nazi regime. Most of them were ordinary people. Sophie Scholl and her fellow members of the White Rose movement were students; Otto and Elise Hampel, who distributed postcards calling for revolt, were a poorly educated working-class couple; and Georg Elser, who tried to kill Adolf Hitler with explosives, was a carpenter.
