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.

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.

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.
