Most of the European nations occupied by Nazi Germany had organized resistance movements. Norway, Italy, Polish underground, Yugoslav partisans, and most famously the French Resistance.

Although in most countries they were mostly loosely connected groups, they did have some organization and did work together. The French movement liberated Paris before the Allies came and the Yugoslav actually liberated their whole country, preventing post war domanition from the Soviet Union.

In most cases they got aid, intel, supplies, and arms from the British and US.

BUT

There were no movement of notice in Germany. Sure, a few groups here and there, but most only helped Jews escape or hid them. There was no serious armed movement that tried to assist the allies or overthrow Hitler. One reason for this was per war the nazis killed anyone that could have organized a resistance.

What if there was an organized German resistance movement in WWII? One that helped the allies and started liberating cities once the allies crossed over into Germany.

Could they find out about the holocaust and try to stop it by attacking camps and blowing up trains?

Would Hitler be forced to keep troops in Germany, making it easier for the allies?

Could they be part of the new post war German government?
