The pendulum has swung back in current assessments of German resistance to the Hitler regime.

With the onset of the war any and all regime criticism was considered treason, punishable by death.<\/p>\n

I do not know what I would have done. \u00a0All the more reason to remember the brave.<\/p>\n

The Brave<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The brave know<\/em><\/p>\n

They will not rise again<\/em><\/p>\n

That no flesh will grow around them<\/em><\/p>\n

On Judgement morning<\/em><\/p>\n

That they won\u2019t remember anything<\/em><\/p>\n

That they won\u2019t see anyone ever again<\/em><\/p>\n

No salvation<\/em><\/p>\n
