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.
