RE: President Lincoln and the Sioux Indian uprising in Minnesota in 1862
I am not an historian and we are a little off topic, but didn't many other European countries that had come under control of the Reich form Resistance groups? Why not Germany?

My belief is that the many ordinary Germans who supported Hitler(at least early in his career) did so because they needed and wanted a strong leader to restore their pride after the humiliation of WWI, and the harsh peace imposed upon them by the Allies at Versailles. He told them what they wanted to hear and even provided them with a scapegoat.."the Jews". When he told them that their people were chosen, pre-ordained as Aryans to rule the world and save them from the degeneracy that had befallen Russia under the Soviets and was threatening the entire world, they were ready to see themselves as heroes.

In the eyes of the men and women who supported the Fuhrer, they were also fighting a just war, a crusade really.
