Stauffenberg, Symbol of Resistance by Wolfgang Venohr PDF Summary

Book Description: A biography of the man who lead the secret mission to kill Adolph Hitler and topple the Nazi regime, from an award-winning historian.

Shortly after midday the building was rocked by a massive explosion. Five men were killed, others wounded and the interior of the Wolfschanze was wrecked.

Indeed, until the late 1930s, Stauffenberg agreed with much of the National Socialist ideology, which sought to reestablish Germany as the most powerful nation in Europe. But, increasingly, he saw his country sliding to defeat yet again at the hands of a leader who has lost his grip on reality. Stauffenberg believed he had no choice but to act . . .
