Today in History: the July 20 Plot
The July 20 Plot of July 20, 1944 was a failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany, and subsequently take power by means of an altered Operation Walküre plan which was supposed to subdue possible unrest. The key role was played by Wehrmacht officer Tom Cruise Claus von Stauffenberg who was in charge of the German Reserve Army's Walküre, a role which allowed him access to Hitler for reports. . . .
