Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a leader in the anti-Nazi "Confessing Church," was imprisoned by the Nazis for complicity in the July 20th assassination plot. However, for various reasons, he wasn't actually executed till 9 April 1945 - only a few weeks before the war ended.

What if he survived? Perhaps the execution order was never sent; perhaps it wasn't received or carried out amid the chaos; or perhaps a sympathetic guard saved him? For whatever reason, suppose he survives into a postwar Germany otherwise similar to OTL's? What would he do, and what impact would he have on Germany and the world?
