I watched the movie valkyrie. It was an awesome movie. Tom cruise is a german soldier that gets promoted to a general and he is trying to come up with a plan to kill hitler. He plays the part of Claus Von Stauffenberg in the movie which is based on a true story. In the begginning you see his hand get blown off and loses his eye in a bombing.
He was part of an anti - Hitler group that tries to assassinate him.Staffenburg had to ditch his family in the beginning so they wouldn't get hurt or be affected when he killed hitler.They figure out where it's going to be at and everying and get it all figured out. They send Stauffenberg and his assistant to an important meeting that hitler and several other generals were atttending.
Stauffenberg cuts himself shaving so he has to change his shirt at the metting and actually activates the bomb. The only problem is that they thought it was going to be in a different building so the explosion could expand because the one they thought the metting was going to be in was all cement and would hold alot of pressure making the explosion stay in the building killing everyone in it.
The explosion still went of and the bomb had been placed right next to hitler so Stauffenberg was sure that hitler was dead, but really someone saw something supspicious so they put themselves between hitler and the bomb assumingly taking the blow. So they cut all communications and Stauffenberg ordered the German army to arrest all the top people in the Nazi party. Their mistake was that the person that drove them around after the explosion wasn't in on the plan and quickly figured it out and reported them in eventually.
Hitler wasn't dead though. He just had a few bruises here and there. He ordered every single man that was in on it except for one to be assassinated immediately. The one general who was just sentenced to prison commited suiside due to the fact that he didn't want to be the only one that gets to live. All of the rest were captured and either hung or shot.
I loved this movie andI thought it sumarized how even his own soldiers hated hitler very well. He was just too powerful of a man for one to revolt. Their were tons of plots to kill Hitler but all of them failed. When the Russians invaded Berlin Hitler didn't want to get caught and tortured so he commited suicide.
