On 20 July 1944, a group of brave German officers tried to kill Hitler at his Eastern Front headquarters, the Wolf's Lair. In this audio series, we examine how the plot was developed and carried out, and why it failed.

Let's talk about my grandfather. He was an ordinary US citizen and not especially privileged, but he was Otto von Bismarck's great-grandson. He was a WW2 US soldier when the enemy who was ironically German ambushed his platoon with gunfire. All other 16 platoon members were instantly killed but my grandpa escaped without a scratch. I'm beginning to think nepotism spared my grandpa's life. The attack on his platoon was astonishingly precise to have happened so fast and furiously. Of course, this also means that Hitler had foreknowledge of his enemy's movements. He knew their name, rank, serial number and what they had for breakfast in advance. The soldiers were mere pawns on the government's chessboard, more so blacks like myself whose ownership were the ultimate object of these big wars. Which brings me to another topic. My grandpa in no way resembled me. However there's one photo of him in WW2 military attire where he looks EXACTLY like me. In that snapshot he looks androgynous and his nose is more flattened than usual to give him a rather ethnic look. I wonder if this unconscious shapeshifting talent was not somehow inherited from Bismarck. And I wonder if it is not responsible for Hitler's 9 lives. Don't point out that Bismarck and Hitler were 2 entirely different people. I'm not hearin' it.

It's astonishing that there were 42 assassination attempts made against Hitler and they all failed. He had The Devil's Luck. The soldiers, Gersdorff and Van Dem Bussche, who in 1943 were willing to kill Hitler and sacrifice their lives in the process are the attempts that impress and move me the most. Both men survived the war.

It was supposed to be a hot day, but those inspecting the ruined conference hut later were all wearing heavy overcoats. Likewise, when Hitler greeted Mussolini at the train that afternoon, everyone was wearing coats and jackets. Did someone tip off those in charge that the hut with windows open was safer than the bunker which was fully enclosed?

My only question is why didn't Claus Von Stauffenberg just arm one of the explosives and put it in the same bag with the unarmed explosive? I'm pretty sure that if one went off the other would have went with it. Historians have asked that questions for years now.

I've often wondered if one of AH's body doubles actually died & that is how he managed to escape death? AH certainly had a lucky run of avoiding some 13 documented attempts on his life. Ironically AH's participation ended up assisting the Allies victory & assassination attempts were put on hold as his bad decisions were more beneficial.

Two points really stand out for me-firstly how much fate and chance played a part in the asassination attempt-warm weather conditions determining the site of the conference, large wooden table in the meeting-room, adjutant moving the briefcase etc. Secondly how much history might have been changed if Von Stauffenberg had gone ahead with his attempt on Hitler's life some days earlier at Berchesgaden.

Yeah, Von Stauffenberg was so deeply christian and concerned about well being of all innocent people that he hadn't had any problems with Germany brutally invading countries like Poland, Norway, Belgium, Denmark etc, and strangely only turned against natzis when it became obvious in 1943 that they are loosing the war badly.

There were two bombs. Stauffenberg used only one and did not leave the other in the briefcase, which would have doubled the explosive power. This was a major mistake. Success did not require any more risk or preparation to leave twice the explosive. The explosion of one block would have detonated the other one. It did not require the second detonator. The senior officers were not sufficiently familiar with their weapon.

I heard in a documentary he was in the bathroom urgently trying to set the second bomb but another officer was banging on the door urging him to get out so he had to finish prematurely with the one bomb ready. Twist of fate.

The one thing I have never understood is that not a single German, military or civilian, was willing to give his life to kill Hitler. Stauffenberg, for example, could have shot Hitler on many occasions and even if firearms were prohibited the briefcase with the bomb could have as easily contained a pistol. Failing that all officers wore a ceremonial dagger, a lethal weapon in its own right.

There was at least one suicide attempt by a junior-officer(v.Gersdorf) ,but it failed because it was dependend on a time-fuse and Hitler left the place much earlier than expected. With handgrenades or with modern ignition devices it would have been probably successful.

On the TV show, Hogan’s heroes, the plotters actually got the briefcase from the English delivered to them by Hogan. Just think if that had been true. Afterwards, major Hochstätter would’ve been dispatched stalag 13 to kill Klink, Schultz and probably Hogan.

True courage would have been to treat the attempt as a suicide mission to ensure its success. How many thousands of people would have been saved if things had ended a year earlier?
