That very few tried to stop Hitler? Unless there was a giant conspiracy that has been kept secret since WW2, this is also self evident.

Nope that is no proof of ability to resist Hitler. Civilians were forbidden to have guns on penalty of death. Many were killed by Gestapo when Hitler issued to order for people to turn in their guns. Just carrying a gun even to turn it in was cause for death by Gestapo.

I'm not talking about the civilians. I'm talking about the millions of Germans in the military. They had more then enough guns to stop Hitler.

There was something on TV the other day, it seems there were a bunch of conspiracies against Hitler from members of the german army, not just the one everybody knows about...

And they pretty much all ended up with the conspirators dead. something Mr Hayward seems to have missed.
