It has always been my impression that a great many of the high officers in the German military (especially the Navy) were in fact 'anti-facists'. Their allegiance was to the Fatherland due to a Bismarckian sense of duty rather than a fanatical belief in the Nazi cause. There were exceptions, however. Correct me if I'm wrong. jeff mizener tek, beavertron (anti-defamation league note: this is not an endorsement or apology, simply a response to a comment on a movie)

Jeff Mizener is quite right. The 20th-of-July officers (who tried to kill Hitler on that date in 1944) were never really thinking of establishing a democracy in Germany. They wanted some sort of an "aristocracy", namely a state strongly influenced by "prussian virtues" which had been very prevalent in the German Empire, too. Christoph Boborwski utcsrgv!bobr
