These WWII Legends Were The Nazis' Worst Nightmare

The defeat of the German armies and Nazi ideology during World War II may seem fated now, but in reality, it was anything but. For years, the Nazis held the upper hand all across Europe, and it was only through the combined resistance of millions of individual heroes that their reign of terror was finally ended.

Many of those people have been nearly forgotten to history. But people like Virginia Hall, Nancy Ward, Witold Pilceki, and Vera Atkins formed the backbone of Allied efforts. And inside Germany, resistance fighters like Fritz Gerlich, Hans and Sophie Scholl, the Swing Kids, and the Edelweiss Pirates fought back against the tyranny of their own government. Remember their names, because these WWII legends were the Nazis' worst nightmares.
