I disagree. I think that fear had too much of an impact on them to stand up. Once the people realized what Hitler was doing with the Jews and other questionable things, that they would’ve started to want him out of power. Yes, Hitler has absolute control, but a whole Nation on one man, seems highly unlikely that he will win. But seeing the circumstances I guess it seems unrealistic that a whole nation, or most, would rebel against Hitler. Yet, if they really wanted change, it should’ve been done.
