While Bonhoeffer was not himself an assassin, he clearly was an accessory to attempted assassination and regime change before and after the fact. I hope you are not going to argue that his arrest and execution had nothing to do with this…..the discovery of the Zossen archives in 1944 and 1945 led directly to his execution on Hitler’s express orders. Bonhoeffer may not have planned assassination but he was killed for exactly that.

Good luck and I will watch for our book. It is very true that his personal resistance to the regime, prior to his involvement with the Abwehr, is often overlooked and underplayed in favour of the more glamourous bomb plots.

And I’m really glad that you have expanded the argument to naming his pacifism as what got them to want to execute him. That fills in the argument and points in the right direction.
