20 jul 1944 año - Operation Valkyrie

Descripción:

-most famous plot to assassinate Hitler (6 in 1943)

-plot by military leaders (many involved, military-conservative resistance): Beck-Goerdeler group, Kreisau Circle, contact with USA + Britain

-reasons: necessity to remove Hitler --> rapid peace + avoid invasion by Red Army (not about morality of Nazi regime), & moral rehabilitation

-USA + Britain suspicious (e.g. plan for post-Hitler German state also seemed authoritarian)

-consequences (failure): suicide/execution, Gestapo round-ups of military-conservative resistance, family members also punished (idea of "collective guilt")
