Claus von Stauffenberg

"You can serve Germany, or the Führer. Not both."

- Claus von Stauffenberg

Claus von Stauffenberg was an upper-class German army officer who was a leading member of Operation Valkyrie, a plot to kill Hitler. Prior to his revolutionary activites, he was injured in Tunisia in 1943 by an Allied warplane that strafed his unit, and he lost his left eye, right hand, and two fingers on his left hand as a result. During recovery he finalized his decision to make his efforts to stop Hitler. Joining an underground movement led by General Friedrich Olbricht, von Stauffenberg worked his way up to German high command, where he was invited to take placed in a meeting with Hitler at the Wolf's Lair (Hitler's secret military compound). Von Stauffenberg was to place a bomb in the room, but complications delayed the meeting, and due to the obstruction of a heavy table leg and open windows, which allowed the pressure waves from the blast to escape the building, Hitler was merely wounded. Von Stauffenberg was captured and summarily executed by firing squad as a result of his efforts.
