Although he welcomed the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor in 1933, he became one of the most famous figures in the military resistance against National Socialism during the Second World War. Colonel von Stauffenberg was a key player in the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, and as chief of staff to the commander of the reserve army, he played a key role in the subsequent "Operation Valkyrie", the attempted coup d'état. After the operation failed, he was summarily shot in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock in Berlin on July 20 or 21, 1944, on the orders of Colonel General Friedrich Fromm.

Count von Stauffenberg was "an ardent patriot, a passionate German nationalist"[1] and initially supported the nationalist and revisionist aspects of National Socialism before he recognized the criminal nature of the National Socialist dictatorship and also turned to active resistance because of the hopelessness of the overall military situation in the German Reich after Stalingrad.

Although he welcomed the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Reich Chancellor in 1933, he became one of the most famous personalities of the military resistance against National Socialism during the Second World War. Colonel von Stauffenberg was the main actor in the assassination attempt of July 20, 1944 on Adolf Hitler and, as chief of staff at the commander of the replacement army, played a decisive role in the subsequent "Operation Valkyrie", an attempt at a coup d'état. After its failure, he was shot on the orders of Colonel General Friedrich Fromm on July 20 or 21, 1944 in the courtyard of the Berlin Bendler Block.
