Black Orchestra

The Schwarze Kapelle was a term used by the Gestapo to refer to a group of conspirators in Nazi Germany, including many senior officers in the Wehrmacht, who plotted to overthrow Adolf Hitler. Unlike the Rote Kapelle, the name given by the Gestapo to the Soviet spy network in the Third Reich, many members of the Schwarze Kapelle were of aristocratic background, felt contempt for the ideology of the Nazi Party, and were politically close to the Western Allies.
