non violent protest under the 3rd Reich

[rich]

There was also large popular protests when avg Germans (spurred mostly
by Church protests) found out about the T4 Euthanasia program for the
insane and the infirm which the Nazis had to stop (at least for a
while)
I think what made this protest significant was the lack of in most
cases of connection between the protestor and those being being put
down. when the protests died down these folks were killed anyway
