The resistance fighters were a inconvenience to the Germain's during ww2. They did not effect the finial outcome of the war one way or the other.
In Norway, the resistance worked alongside SOE to carry out Operations Grouse, Freshman, and Gunnerside which may have very well prevented the Nazi's from building an atomic bomb.

The Nazi party had near total control over every aspect of German life. And mostly supported by the population at the time. Most had unquestioned loyalty to Hitler the children were brainwashed at school. Thinking that if the Jews were armed would have made any difference to their fate i think is wrong the below statement is what i was replying to.
Loyalty to a leader only runs so far. By the time the war ended, Hitler had created enough hardship for the German people that there was more than one attempt on his life. A more effective resistance movement, especially within Germany itself, would have only increased and accelerated the cost and hardship upon the German people and thus eroded Hitler's support more quickly. The key to a successful resistance movement is not to break the army or the leader, but the will of the people supporting them.
