Wilhelm Canaris
Wilhelm Canaris was a German naval officer and head of the Abwehr, the military intelligence service of Nazi Germany, known for his complex role during World War II. Initially loyal to Adolf Hitler, Canaris grew disillusioned with the Nazi regime and actively sought to undermine it through covert operations and intelligence efforts aimed at alerting the Allies to the impending threat of German aggression. His actions included orchestrating a series of intelligence leaks designed to provoke a stronger British military response, ultimately highlighting the moral and strategic dilemmas faced by individuals within the Nazi hierarchy.
