Once again, the OP shows her lack of understanding beyond cherry picked quotes without context. Canaris was not the powerful authority the OP attempts to project. He was the chief of the military intelligence service, which was not the primary intelligence service in Nazi Germany. He did not outrank the Gestapo and SS. His role was restricted to gathering and analizing military intelligence for the German military. He had the position of a DIA chief in America, not the chief of the CIA and FBI. Gestapo and SS ruled, not the intelligence gathering arm of the military.3. One of the highest anti-Nazi Germans was the chief of Nazi Germany's military intelligence division, the Abwehr, Admiral Wm. Canaris.

During the Second World War, he was among the military officers involved in the clandestine opposition to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime.... "Wilhelm Canaris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
b. A few weeks before the war ended, Canaris was hanged by he Nazis. Hanged twice: "once to show him what death tasted like."
“Canaris Hanging Related,” New York Times, October 11, 1952.
....what did America gain by not supporting the German resistance movement, which would have turned Hitler over to the Allies, ended the war at least two years earlier than it ended, .....
....and all it would have cost the world is the absence of the Cold War, no Korean nor Vietnam Wars, and no Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe...
...and a bonus: 200,000 fewer American dead.
