Description
|
|
|
|
On July 20, 1944, the last assassination attempt against Hitler failed. The conspirators and thousands of supporters and sympathizers were arrested and executed, first among them General Friedrich Olbricht, who had nurtured the plan, Valkyrie, over three years. Olbricht's role was less glamorous than that of Claus Graf Stauffenberg, who laid the bomb in Hitler's bunker, yet he contributed far more to the overall resistance against Hitler, and has been unfairly sidelined by most histories. Helena Schrader traces Olbricht's transformation into an active conspirator dedicated to removing Hitler from power, and explains how close his plan came to changing history.
