I think that what he meant was “the only group that resisted until martyrdom”.

But that wouldn't be accurate either. There were die-hard, born-again Christians who organized and opposed Hitler and the Nazis.

One well-known martyr was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. But there were MANY who gave their lives for their faith in resistance to the horrors of the Nazi Party. So if they meant what you said - they were still just as flawed.

True, but they were subgroups.

Now, of course, there are lots of subgroups out there with justifiiable pride in their resistance.

But as a percentage of total mainstream Protestants or Catholics in the Third Reich, their numbers were small.
