		Gisevius überredete ihn jedoch dazu, im Polizeidienst zu bleiben: Er argumentierte, dass der Widerstand gegen Hitler zwangsläufig Verbündete im SS-Apparat benötigte, die die von den Nazis begangenen Verbrechen aufzeichneten in der Hoffnung, Beweise für eine später Verurteilung zu sammeln.

		Its principal founders were Hans Rothfels, a German conservative historian, who had returned from his exile in the United States, and Theodor Eschenburg, a German political thinker with unsullied credentials.
		Hans Bernd Gisevius (1904-1974) had been connected to the 1944 conspirators against Hitler; he worked for a while for Allen Dulles and the OSS in Switzerland.
		Valuable elements in his biography were his analysis of the Hitler-Papen and Hitler-Hindenburg relationships, and his treatment generally of Hitler in the early 1930s; noteworthy, too, was his shrewd recognition of Hitler's duality, suggesting that Hitler often incarnated diverse personalities, even in his photographs.

		Naked under the scaffold, they knelt for the last time to pray - they were hanged, their corpses left to rot.
		During the waning weeks of the Nazi era, SS Obersturmbannführer Walter Huppenkothen, born 1909, and Sturmbannführer Otto Thorbeck, born 1911, had been detailed to the Flossenburg concentration camp to eliminate Canaris and the other resistance figures.

		Gisevius may not have earned credit for halting the tragedy, but he does offer today's readers important lessons about the nature of dictatorship and the seductive powers of evil.

		In 1956 the German High Court ruled that this ceremony had been enough to render the murders "legal." The high court judges also held that the killings were "legal" because the Nazi regime had possessed the right to execute "traitors." The court, in effect, reconvicted the victims.
