Overview
Wounded in Africa during World War II, Nazi Col. Claus von Stauffenberg returns to his native Germany and joins the Resistance in a daring plan to create a shadow government and assassinate Adolf Hitler. When events unfold so that he becomes a central player, he finds himself tasked with both leading the coup and personally killing the Führer.
The reviews on this movie were so-so but I quite enjoyed it. I’m a little biased since I am a World War II buff so I may be a bit biased. As with any other film rooted in a historical event, take it with a grain of salt. The leaders of the plot to kill Hitler are portrayed as having pure motives but this was probably not the case.
