Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Story of Courage and Faith; The Tucker Carlson Encounter: Bret Weinstein at the Darien Gap
“Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian, is a Christian hero for many. Executed by the Nazis just days before the end of WWII for his participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer is hailed as a 20th-century martyr. But Bonhoeffer struggled with a moral dilemma – his religious views were in stark contrast to the evil he saw all around him. He chose to face possible imprisonment and execution and to remain faithful to the principles of his belief in God. Across the political and theological spectrum, Bonhoeffer is celebrated as an icon of true Christianity and his theological writings are classics throughout the Christian world.“

The Tucker Carlson Encounter: Bret Weinstein at the Darien Gap
“Bret Weinstein traveled to the Darien Gap to understand who's behind the invasion of our country. His conclusion: ‘it's not a friendly migration.’”

It says in the video that 5,000 people were executed in reprisals for the assassination in attempt. So the conspiracy caused more bloodshed rather than less.
It is true Bonhoeffer is a highly respected figure in the church today, but I do not see the apostles or the early Christians engaged in plots to assassinate any of the Caesars, some of whom were actively persecuting Christians.
And what if the assassination plot had succeeded in killing Hitler, but the attempt to seize power had failed, and Himmler, Goering and Goebbels had remained in charge? Lacking Hitler's faith in his own infallible genius, the new rulers of the Reich might have allowed the generals to make more intelligent decisions in the field, and possibly postponed the by then inevitable fall of the Reich by five or six months. Then how many more people, especially Jews, would have died in that time?
But what exactly is the responsibility of Bible-believing Christians in a situation like that?
Jesus did say, "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." So, Christians were not obligated to walk up to a policeman and say "Hi I am a Christian and I don't believe in Hitler." But when directly confronted and forced to chose between declaring the faith or denying it, they should declare their faith openly and take the consequences, even unto death.
And they should put "Do unto others as you would have them do to you and do what they could to help the persecuted and afflicted, Jews not excepted, and suffer the penalty if caught.
