German Army colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg plans to assassinate German leader Adolf Hitler on July 20th, 1944 with a briefcase bomb, while other high-ranking plotters in Berlin are preparing to take power in a coup.
"The Plot to Kill Hitler" is a historical recreation of the 1944 attempt by several German High Command officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler and take control of the German government. Led by Wehrmacht colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg, this group of brave men managed to plant a bomb in Hitler's battlefield headquarters. By sheer luck, Hitler survived the blast and the SS quickly arrested and executed all those involved in the affair.—Anthony Hughes <[email protected]>
