Interactive visualisation of resistance cells under Gestapo surveillance: raising coordination links the cells and the sweeps roll up linked groups, showing why opposition to the Nazi regime stayed fragmented
Every new link made a resistance cell more exposed
Germans did resist the regime: communists, pastors, teenagers, students and finally generals. None of it grew into a mass movement, and the reason sits in the geometry of a police state. Suppose a lone cell links itself to two others: is it safer, or more exposed? Raise the coordination between the cells and watch what happens to the linked ones when the sweeps arrive.

Who resisted, and what happened to them
Know This
Opposition to the Nazis stayed fragmented because the Gestapo and informers rolled up any group that grew, leaving only lone acts and plots that came too late to threaten the regime.
