Valkyrie

Created as a companion documentary to the film Valkyrie, this History Channel documentary details the true story behind the plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler.

– Also titled as "Virtual History: Secret Plot to Kill Hitler" – On July 20th 1944, a select group of senior German officers made a daring attempt to assassinate their leader, Adolf Hitler. Many high ranking officers in the German Army were appalled by the abhorrent crimes committed against civilians and enemy troops, which they believed to be morally wrong. Casualties among the German forces were enormous and many officers believed this was due to Adolf Hitler's insistence on pursuing disastrous offensive strategies.

In the autumn of 1940, the decision was made by Hitler to construct a base of operations from which Operation Barbarossa could be planned and instigated. This almost impenetrable series of structures, located in the Masurian woods near the town of Rastenburg, welcomed the Fuehrer for the first time on the 23rd June, 1941. Although Hitler had a number of similar bases built throughout Europe, the Wolfsschanze was by far his preferred location, spending a total of over 800 days there during a three and a half year period. In that time, a number of key decisions were made there that drove the Eastern campaign against Russia, as well as a failed assassination attempt on the Fuehrer himself.
