On July 20th, 1944, a group of conspirators attempted to kill Adolf Hitler inside the Wolf’s Lair military base in East Prussia. That was the day that Claus von Stauffenberg placed a bomb next to the Führer of Nazi Germany was intending to take over political control of Germany and try to make peace with the Western Allies.

But the assassination attempt and the following coup d’état to overthrown the Nazi Government failed, and seven thousand people were arrested by the Gestapo in the investigation process. From those, almost five thousand people were executed.

I learned about the July 20th 1944 plot in 2008 when I watched a Tom Cruise movie called Operation Valkyrie. This is the name of the operation plan to be executed in case of a general breakdown of the government in Nazi Germany. This was just a part of Hitler’s assassination conspiracy, but it became the name primarily associated with the entire event.
