That said, there was dissent because there were over 40 attempts on Hitler's life by his own military. It seems some of them hated his guts and were willing to do anything including assassination to get rid of him.
The German resistance reached out to the Allies (England and the United States) for help in planning and carrying out the assassination of Adolf Hitler. The Allies refused to provide any assistance of any kind to the German resistance. Can you imagine? Had the Allies helped coordinate and plan the assassination of Adolf Hitler along with the German resistance, WWII would have ended FAR EARLIER and many many lives would have been saved ON BOTH SIDES.
Sad story.

Hitler was a bad man but he didn't create the wounded pride of the German people or their anger regarding the Treaty of Versailles. We'll never know what the manifestation of that would have been w/o Hitler but I suspect something would have gone down.
Regarding war occasionally being the answer, we all have war in our DNA as we are the descendants of those victorious in wars known and unknown. My dad survived WW2. If US forces in the Pacific had been wiped out by a victorious Japan, not likely I'd be sitting here.
