Operacija Walküre

Operacija Walküre

Walther Kneip

The attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944 in today's Germany is not exactly celebrated, regardless of the thousands executed, nor is the heroic undertaking of the one-armed war veteran Claus von Stauffenberg particularly glorified.

He was the only one of the anti-Hitler conspirators who found enough courage and inner strength to bring explosives into the Wolf's Den. For him, the solution was to kill the Führer, and only then start Operation Walküre, launch Wehrmacht units that would deal with the SS and occupy Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Vienna. The crazy idea of ​​an Anglo-American air landing on Berlin was also discussed, after which German soldiers would deal with Nazi units side by side with American and British paratroopers, and then the German army would conclude an armistice in the west and prolong the war against the Soviet Union. As tempting as this may sound, the overheated German war machine could not simply stop or spare the consequences of total defeat on all fronts, as well as the demand for unconditional capitulation sent from the meeting of the Big Three in Tehran. Colonel Count Stauffenberg, a descendant of the old Prussian military nobility, appeared not as the conscience of the nation, but only as the conscience of a small group of like-minded people, so most of their German contemporaries considered them traitors. Loyalty to the Führer was equated with loyalty to Germany - whoever was against Hitler was also against Germany. Of course, after the war, it will be argued that there were many who thought like Stauffenberg, but that they did not have the opportunity to express it. However, the Führer did not fight his war alone, and only one German tried to stop him.
