The German resistance to Nazism comprised armed and unarmed opposition, disobedience, sabotage, rescue efforts, protests, defections and attempts to overthrow or assassinate Adolf Hitler. It was not a unified movement, but consisted of small, isolated groups with varied backgrounds and goals. Resistance included members of the Polish minority and some Wehrmacht leaders involved in the 20 July 1944 plot. Many suspected or active resisters were arrested, imprisoned or executed by Nazi authorities.
