stauffenberg.

on july 20th 1944 the german colonel and chief of staff for the replacement army of the german wehrmacht Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg became a tragic hero and the most vivid sign of the german resistance in the 3rd reich. while the bomb he planted failed to kill the führer, the message it sent out into the world is still alive today. his own words bare all the tragedy of it:”even if this comes too late and we fail to succeed, the world still has to know there is another, better and brighter germany”. it took us decades to remember the men and women of jul 22th as what they were: heroes in the best sense of the word.
