I found this in the chat while finding out what a Foden was.

As commendable the attempt was by the military around Stauffenberg to kill Hitler, it is always easy to forget the "ordinary", rather unknown people who recognized much earlier how dangerous Hitler and the Nazis were for Germany and the rest of the world. Hans Elser, a carpenter from a village in southern Germany, attempted to blow up Hitler and the entire Nazi leadership at the Bürgerbräukeller in Munich in 1939. The assassination attempt only failed, by a matter of minutes. Elser was arrested, taken to a concentration camp and shot there in April 1945, shortly before the end of the war. Until the 1990s, Elser was viewed as a traitor in his hometown, hushed up and remained unknown to most Germans. Only after a movie and several documentaries about him did this man's service and sacrifice become public and posthumously recognized. The generals only decided to carry out an assassination attempt when it was clear to the last one that the war had long been lost and that Germany's downfall was inevitable. All I want to say is that Elser's fate is exemplary for the many "ordinary" people who risk everything, including their lives, to prevent or stop a dictatorship. I always think of this when I read the Atesh reports or hear from people who are trying to change something in the Russian-occupied territories or within Russia.
