Book
The July 1944 plot to kill Hitler was an attempt by a group of senior officers to redeem Germany's honour & end WWII. They were heroic because they knew their chances of success were slight & that the result of their failure would be a terrible death. This extraordinary story is the basis for Bryan Singer's major new film Valkyrie.
