In Man in the High Castle, the resistance had to help a nazi officer stay alive in order to stop an even worse nazi from nuking the entire world.
spoiler
Basically, someone did a coup against hitler and the successor accused Imperial Japan of killing hitler, and he wanted to start nuking Japanese-occupied territories, but the resistance helped coverup a scandal by the nazi-American John Smith in which he tried to coverup his son's illness to avoid the gestapo "euthanizing" him. Basically, they got John Smith to tricking the nazis to believing Imperial Japan also had nukes so that they back off, averting WW3. (Its an absurd plot, I know, but Man in the High Castle is worth watching tbh)
