I was engrossed reading about those that saved, or tried, to save Jews... Raoul Wallenberg was beyond my comprehension.and those that tried to kill Hitler.

Col Stauffenberg again, stunning.

There were 15 attempts on Hitler's life, from fairly early on.

The more serious ones, whereby you also had to plan to attack his security forces, were unimaginably hard.... logistics, recruitment, getting explosives, unexpected changes in station of your key men

Valkrye movie.. the painting..and the man will be hung.... I am committing high treason. Are you in?

Yes, Claus von Stauffenberg was a heroically brave, saintly man.

The book titled Killing Hitler, by Roger Moorhouse, published in 2006, describes in great detail the most prominent of the many plots to assassinate Adolph Hitler. It's astonishing how many serious assassination attempts there were, how close many of them came to succeeding, and at what terrible, tragic cost to the many people who attempted to carry them out.
