Impacts and Implications

Chapter Chapter 7 in Quantifying Resistance, 2017, pp 167-186 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Since the end of the Second World War, historical research on German and Austrian resistance has steadily expanded, deepened and enrichened our understanding of the phenomenon. Like all healthy fields of research, though, mysteries and gaps not only persist but are constantly being opened up. This book has sought to add to that accumulated knowledge by attempting to tease further insights from the archives with quantitative analysis. Its results have both cast light on a number of important existing debates and identified new areas of study that call for greater research. The various threads discovered in earlier chapters are brought together in this concluding chapter, and some of the key implications of our findings for the understanding of serious resistance activities in Nazi Germany are discussed. One new thing that emerges from this analysis is a framework that for the first time allows the objective evaluation of the impact of serious resistance to be made, an approach which with simple modifications could be easily extended to the study of dissent, opposition and nonconformity.
