Claus von Stauffenberg - The army officer who tried to kill Hitler
This is an excerpt from the video "Geheime Reichssache - die Angeklagten des 20. Juli 1944 vor dem Volksgerichtshof".
Watch the video in full length here: • Geheime Reichssache - ...
Claus von Stauffenberg was born in Jettingen Castle in Bavarian Swabia near Burgau into the southern German, Catholic noble Stauffenberg family. Parents: Alfred Schenk Count von Stauffenberg (1860--1936) and Caroline, née Countess von Üxküll-Gyllenband (1875--1957).
On 26 September 1933 he married Nina Freiin von Lerchenfeld in Bamberg. With her he had five children: Berthold, Heimeran, Franz-Ludwig, Valerie and Konstanze.
He was an officer in the German Wehrmacht and one of the central figures of the military resistance against National Socialism in Germany during the Second World War. He was chiefly responsible for the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944. The assassination attempt, code-named "Operation Valkyrie", failed and Hitler suffered only bruises. As a result, Stauffenberg was executed in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock (Tiergarten) in Berlin on 21 July 1944.

Respect și onoare lui Klaus von Stauffenberg și tuturor oamenilor din armata germană,care au complotat contra lui Adolf Hitler!
I calculated that between 5 to 10 million people would’ve been saved, if the plot to kill Hitler would’ve been successful. I can’t comprehend the letdown!!!😢

It would have been much more if Churchill would have been killed.
No, he‘s not.
You should to know he could kill Hitler save with his sidearm but he decidet to take the bomb
There is constant speculation in comments that Stauffenberg and his “resistance group” would vote for the AfD today. That would not be unlikely, because these officers fully supported and participated in Hitler's policy of war of extermination and annihilation for 11 years until 1944. Only when they realized that the war could no longer be won did they only want to save their own asses with this act. If they had even suspected that they would not have been held responsible after the end of the war, they would have guaranteed that the attack on Hitler would not have happened. Personally, I do NOT see these people as heroes, just opportunists.

No, thats not true. This resistance starts to build up in 1938 with the Blomberg-Fritsch affair. All this bring Tham to the Oster conspiracy in 1938.
Hero ???

He gave his life defending his country sometimes you need to defend it from your own government terrorists foreign and domestic. Watch the film it's excellent starts with a journal entry how disgusted soldiers have become with Hitler and the oath of absolute loyalty they all had to swear to.
