Description
The July Plot to Assassinate Hitler: A Detailed Account of Operation Valkyrie. On 20 July 1944, a group of German officers and civilians attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler as part of Operation Valkyrie. Led by Count von Stauffenberg, the plot involved placing a bomb in a conference room at the Führer's headquarters on the Eastern Front. Although the bomb exploded as planned, Hitler survived due to its placement behind a heavy table leg. Author Nigel Jones provides a detailed and minute-by-minute account of the events leading up to the attempt, the day of the assassination, and the aftermath where the conspirators were hunted down. With photographs, explanatory maps, and diagrams, this book offers a comprehensive look at one of the most significant plots against Hitler during World War II. By examining the July Plot, readers can gain insight into the inner workings of the German resistance movement and how it might have altered the course of the Second World War.
