Why read it?
2 authors picked The History of the German Resistance, 1933-1945 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
During my research for my book, I was fortunate to get in touch with Claus von Stauffenbergâs grandson Philipp von Schultess, who recommended the Peter Hoffmann book.Â
It is a very detailed, comprehensive book on a topic that is too often omitted from schoolbooks and history books alike, the over 700,000 German civilians, politicians, clergy, military, and paramilitary who lost their lives trying to overturn the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945.

From Michela's list on German Resistance during WWII.
Peter Hoffmannâs father was involved in the resistance. For more than fifty years Professor Hoffmann has documented the history of the Germans who struggled against Nazism. He interviewed each eyewitness who was available and has compiled authoritative studies on the subject.
His unprecedented access and diligent pursuit of detail cannot be replicated, as all the key players have since died. Dense with detail, the book will appeal to scholars rather than the general reader, but it is the last word on the subject.
From Brian's list on plots to kill Hitler.
