From the bestselling authors ofThe Holy Blood and the Holy GrailandThe Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, a stunning revelation of Hitler’s secret enemy — Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg — and “Secret Germany’s” plot to kill the Fuhrer. At thirty-seven, Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg, Chief of Staff of the Reich Reserve Army, was a charismatic figure destined for supreme command. The group of conspirators with whom he conceived a plot to kill Hitler in July 1944 was called “Secret Germany.” That was also the name of the esoteric circle in which Stauffenberg as a young man had been a disciple of the mystic anti-Nazi magus and poet Stefan George. What were the motivations of this extraordinary aristocratic soldier, with the looks of a Hollywood idol and reputed to be the only man to stare the Fuhrer down until he averted his eyes? For Stauffenberg, the bomb plot was not a political move but a moral and spiritual necessity. After forty-two serious attempts on Hitler’s life in the previous twenty years, why did he not succeed? Had he done so, some would say he would have become the de Gaulle of Germany, saviour of the nation’s soul. Even in failure, there can be no doubt of Stauffenberg’s heroism. He stands as atonement for the Third Reich and a resolution of the conflicting myths of German culture. In this remarkable investigation, his whole life explains a troubled past to the present generations of Europeans.

When on July 20, 1944, a bomb-boldly placed inside Hitler's headquarters by Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg- exploded without killing the Führer, the subsequent coup d'état against the Third Reich collapsed. The conspirators were summarily shot or condemned in show trials and sadistically hanged. One of the few survivors of the conspiracy was Hans Bernd Gisevius, who had used his positions in the Gestapo and the Abwehr (military intelligence) to further the anti-Nazi plot. Valkyrie, an abridgment of Gisevius's classic insider's account To the Bitter End, is an intimate memoir as riveting as it is exceptional.

By July of 1944, the Third Reich's days were numbered. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a general staff insider with open eyes (and access to the Führer), was convinced that assassinating Hitler was the only way to prevent the destruction of the Fatherland and the deaths of millions. On July 20, he hid a bomb-stuffed briefcase at a high-level meeting. The explosion tore through the room, but a table leg spared Hitler from the blast. The result was a witch hunt, a wave of executions, and a further pointless year of war. Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh deliver an exhilarating and definitive portrait of the anti-Nazi movement (called "Secret Germany") that almost killed Hitler. Secret Germany is the story of "World War II's boldest plot-that-failed" (Time), a coup that was a moral and spiritual necessity.

Der 20. Juli 1944 ist ein zentrales Datum der deutschen Gedenkkultur. Er steht nicht nur für den Staatsstreich und das Attentat auf Hitler, sondern für den gesamten aktiven Widerstand gegen die Barbarei des Nationalsozialismus, um der Welt zu zeigen, dass es auch ein anderes Deutschland gibt (Richard von Weizsäcker). Doch der Weg der Anerkennung des Widerstands war lang und asymmetrisch in den ehemals beiden deutschen Staaten. Erst mit Theodor Heuss Gedenkrede zum 10. Jahrestag 1954 änderte sich die Perspektive. Allmählich rückte auch die Person Claus Graf Schenks von Stauffenberg in die Rolle einer Symbolfigur des Widerstands. Mit der ersten wissenschaftlichen Biografie, 1967 vom Potsdamer Historiker Kurt Finker vorgelegt, kam Bewegung in die deutsch - deutsche Rezeption im Schatten Stauffenbergs. Erbe und Tradition Stauffenbergs und des 20. Juli 1944 verweisen auf Freiheit mehr als auf Demokratie. Und nicht weniger wichtig ist die brennende Frage, aus welchen sozialen und politischen Milieus sich die Bundeswehr künftig rekrutieren wird. Pistorius 20.000 Männer und Frauen sind nicht minder wichtig als die Männer und Frauen des 20. Juli. Dennoch hat Stauffenberg Bedeutung für eine demokratische Erinnerungskultur. Der Band versammelt Vorträge eines Symposiums des IBRG, nicht zuletzt, um zum 80. Jahrestag des Attentats das Interesse an den Biografien der Beteiligten wie auch am notwendigen Widerstand gegen das Unrecht des Staates wachzuhalten und die Notwendigkeit dazu weiter zu bedenken.

A biography of the man who lead the secret mission to kill Adolph Hitler and topple the Nazi regime, from an award-winning historian. On 20th July 1944, senior officers gathered at the Wolfschanze—the Wolf’s Lair—Hitler’s headquarters in East Prussia. Among them was Colonel Claus Schenk Count von Stauffenberg, chief of staff of the Reserve Army, and he carried a briefcase packed with explosives. This is his story. 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. Believing that he had killed the German Führer, von Stauffenberg set off for Berlin to initiate Operation Valkyrie—the coup d’etat to overthrow the Nazi regime. Hitler, of course, did not die that day and Stauffenberg and his coconspirators were rounded up and executed. But what motivated Stauffenberg to attempt such a mission? Was Stauffenberg a traitor or a patriot? After decades of analyzing the sources and eyewitness reports, the renowned historian Wolfgang Venohr revealed the true nature of the man behind the most audacious assassination attempt of the Second World War. Like many others, Stauffenberg smarted from Germany’s humiliating defeat in 1918 and the punishing terms of the Treaty of Versailles. 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 . . .

20 July 1944 is usually associated with the bomb plot to murder Hitler. However, what distinguishes Colonel Stauffenberg’s plan from all others is that the attempt on the Führer’s life was only to be the initial stage of a full military coup d’état. The aim was to overthrow the murderous regime, and to end the war as soon as possible. The conspiracy has long been analyzed from political, social, religious, or moral points of view. This book asks what the military dimension of the plan was. What traditions in the German army were at work, how was planning and preparation done, and why did the plot fail eventually? What is more: how did the conspiracy affect the German armies created in East and West after World War II, and also the Austrian Army? As the politicians among the conspirators thought in categories of Imperial Germany or at least the Weimar Republic, the officers among them were conditioned by the Reichswehr. Yet, Stauffenberg and some others were also bright intellectuals who were willing to incorporate their war experience into their plans, rendering them surprisingly modern at times. The coup d’état had been planned as meticulously as circumstances in war-torn Berlin allowed. However, as most officers had foreseen, once it became public knowledge that Hitler had survived Stauffenberg’s bomb, army units refused to act. The myth surrounding the "Führer" effectively prevented any military action against him. Still, the failed uprising had its effects: the regime took the opportunity to tilt the balance of power further in favor of Himmler and his fiefdom (SS, Gestapo, Police), to the detriment of the army which Hitler felt was too reactionary anyway. The leadership of the West German Bundeswehr always saw the failed uprising as part of its tradition, but it took time for this attitude to percolate down to the rank and file. For decades, some of the former Wehrmacht soldiers viewed Stauffenberg and his friends as "traitors". The book is the first to approach this important event in German history from a specifically military point of view, and that results in some surprising new results.

Nombreux sont ceux qui ont entendu parler de la tentative d'assassinat de Hitler, mais peu connaissent les individus qui y furent impliqués. Dans cette histoire richement documentée, Peter Hoffmann dévoile la vie héroïque du compte Claus Stauffenberg ,aristocrate allemand qui aspirait à tuer Hitler. Hoffmann relate en détail les premières années de la vie de Stauffenberg, en montrant de quelle manière la relation avec ses frères Berthold et Alexander, leur entrée dans la cénacle du poète Stefan George et leur cheminement politique et professionnel leur ont permis de résister à la tyrannie de Hitler et du gouvernement allemand, d'abord par des voies usuelles, puis par le tentative d'assassinat et de coup d'Etat du 20 juillet 1944. Cet ouvrage se base sur une documentation exhaustive qui inclut des archives familiales, de la correspondance et des témoignages de nombreux contemporains, ainsi qu'une collection iconographique exceptionnelle. Ayant une connaissance unique de Stauffenberg, Hoffmann fut le conseiller du film Valkyrie, sortie en janvier 2009 en France. Cette édition revue comprend une nouvelle préface de l'Auteur et d'importantes informations qu'il a découvertes depuis la première publication.
