'It is obvious that there had, indeed, been a better part of German society. If not, the Nazis would not have already needed to fill prisons and concentration camps with political opponents in 1933, years before the deportation of Jewish people began. But the identification of the anti-Nazi opposition with the conspirators that tried to kill Hitler and take power in July 1944 has always been historically dishonest. The military was certainly not the group that had sacrificed most members in the resistance against Hitler. Instead, it was the necessary element in exporting Nazi crimes from Germany to the rest of Europe.'
