How did the Jehovah's Witnesses Stand Firm Against the Nazis? (Discussion 34 Part 2)

Timeline - In part two we outline how soon Hitler and the Nazi's started to target the Jehovah's Witnesses through various means including laws created line by line, and step by step to systematically target them, first by removing their liberties and later by imprisonment in concentration camps. Why were the Jehovah's Witnesses targeted so soon after the Nazis came to power? Our first discussion and stop on our path to Rutherford's Roadmap is a look at how the Jehovah's Witnesses Stood Firm against the Nazis. What can we learn about those who wore the purple triangle?

There are several examples not only in Watchtower publications but also in scholarly literature of the Jehovah's Witness resistance to Nazi oppression. After Hitler came to power, how quickly did he target the JWs? How did the JWs endure such severe persecution?
