![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In a way, everything Hans Fallada wrote in his social realism oeuvre was a form of resistance, and the Nazis didn’t hesitate to ban it, but his Alone in Berlin (1947) is specifically about the futile resistance campaign of a working-class couple against the Nazis, a couple who believed that once you’ve seen that a cause is right, you’re obliged to fight for it. Would it be true to say that when we think of The Resistance, we tend to think of the French Resistance and the brave men and women of the British SOE (Special Operations Group) who worked underground in France? But there was a German Resistance, and not just the Righteous Among Nations who sheltered Jews and helped them escape. I haven’t read many books about the German Resistance under Hitler. ![]()
