Although Dietrich Bonhoeffer was not even 40 years old when he was executed in Berlin by the Nazis in April, 1945, he has clearly emerged as the dominant figure of the German Church's resistance during the demonic years of 1933-1945. Each year sees the appearance of new articles and books about Bonhoeffer, while sadly, each year also sees the deaths of the men and women who actually knew and worked with him.
