Adolf Hitler was willing to do anything to achieve his dreams of domination. To stop the dictator, the British forces, the French resistance fighters or the German opponents imagined numerous scenarios aimed at assassinating him. However, each attempt proved to be a failure. One of the most emblematic is that planned by a German officer Claus Schenk Von Stauffenberg during the plot of July 20, 1944 at the ... continua
