Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of some of the key personal and environmental characteristics of those who participated in serious resistance to the Nazi regime. It reminds us that as a group they were more than just the politics to which they subscribed. Moreover, the chapter describes a range of interesting phenomena: inter alia, the steady aging of resisters over the course of the regime, especially during the war; the dominance of blue-collar labour in resistance movements; and the small, though disproportionate, contribution of foreigners, the stateless and people of partial Jewish ancestry in the struggle to undermine Hitler’s state from within. The chapter also demonstrates the meaningfulness of analysing resistance by stage of life and gender. In particular, its analysis highlights the distinctiveness of two often overlooked types of resistance: juvenile and female.
