I want to read I think the reasons the German resistance got glossed over is 1. the early resistance disapeared into the 'fog' and everyone else learned their lesson and 2. The communists lay low and didn't resist until Hitler attacked Russia. After the war we weren't in the mood to make heroes of communists. Oh, and the Desert Fox did not die of injuries sustained when an allied plane strafed his car!

Gotta be careful here, don't want to ruin my reputation by being too agreeable...

But, I think you are right.

As to the communists, Hitler's switch caused them a lot of problems in the US..

 Hitler's "switch" was to repudiate the molotov- Ribbentrop treaty and attack the USSR, making them first our informal and then formal allies. Communists, for a brief period, went from being portrayed as the Red menace to being slalwart allies in the fight against fascism.

  The only "switch" that hurt U.S. communists was the original one by Stalin who agreed to m-R and briefly aligned the USSR with Hitler in a great power accomodation across the ideological divide. Hitler always hated communists. M-r was just a con game by him.
