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
