He was German citizen, a mid-level civil servant, and man of conscience who recorded his opposition to the Nazi regime in a secret diary he began in 1939. As a lonely voice of German opposition who could only record it in secret, he was uncompromising in his views on German responsibility.
He wrote in 1945, “If now, after the collapse, should any of these lackeys of Adolf Hitler have the insolence to claim they were merely harmless onlookers, let them feel the scourge of avenging mankind.”
