Dietrich Bonhoeffer is another one of those who resisted despite torture and eventual death. I guarantee that he fared better than Hitler in the long run.

The bravest man, the finest man, I ever knew was our Roman Catholic chaplain in Germany, a local German priest, who spent the War in Dachau for his resistance to the Nazis. He was modest, self effacing, morally incorruptible, intellectually rigorous and despite his treatment, kind and noble spirited. I later found out this about the man know to us as "Father Andreas":

Priests from Dachau worked in the "Plantation" and in the enormous S.S. industrial complex immediately to the west of the camp. In February 1942, two groups of younger Polish priests and scholastics were chosen for work as carpenters' apprentices, but they had actually been chosen (at the express order of Heinrich Himmler) to be injected with pus to study gangrene or to have their body temperature lowered to 27 degrees Centigrade in order to study resuscitation of German fliers downed in the North Atlantic. The Rev. Andreas Reiser, a German, was crowned with barbed wire and a group of Jewish prisoners was forced to hail him as their king, and the Rev. Stanislaus Bednarski, a Pole, was hanged on a cross.
