488 – Valkyrie [Operation Walküre - Das Stauffenberg Attentat]



History, Drama (USA, D — 2008)

It is 1943, and though he has come to be disgusted by Hitler's campaign of evil, Count Claus von Stauffenberg has risen to the level of lieutenant colonel in the German army. Convinced that Hitler must die, Von Stauffenberg requests a transfer to Tunisia, where he loses his left eye and right hand during an Allied air raid. Falling in with a group of similarly disillusioned officers including Major General Henning von Tresckow, General Friedrich Olbricht, General Friedrich Fromm, and Colonel General Ludwig Beck, Stauffenberg is at the centre of several attempts on Der Fuhrer's life, culminating in a bombing that kills a handful of his officers and leaves Hitler only slightly injured.
