The White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose) was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany, consisting of a number of students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor.- Wekipedia

There were 6 (SIX) core members? SIX people? The total resistance to Hitler could be put on a school bus - with plenty of empty seats? Shame on them - shame on the Germans.

The White Rose was just one group, unconnected from the Stauffenberg conspirators, and other dissidents like Bonhoeffer and the von Moltke clique.

When the Gestapo rounded up all the various groups the total of victims liquidated was in the hundreds.

The total resistance to Hitler could be put on a school bus -
with plenty of empty seats?
Shame on them - shame on the Germans.

I've had the same thought.
Even with my substantial genetic heritage from the Germanic regions.

All I think is that after making sure enough "enemies of the state"
disappear, most of the populace cowers and submits.

Especially in a culture that prized order and disdains disorder.

And that once enough of the "outliers" are dispatched/exiled,
the fundamental decency of a country evaporates.
I'm not Catholic, but that seemed to me the general idea of
what Pope John Paul II said about Poland after it was spiritually
mashed by Facism from the west and Communism from the east.
