The last member of Operation Valkyrie - the daring July 20 1944
plot to assassinate Hitler - tells his remarkable story. 'It was
not the question of an isolated assassination, but rather of
beginning a complete overthrow of the regime' July 20 1944. A
fearless group of German officers attempted to act against the
horrors of Nazism and put an end to the war by killing Adolf
Hitler. But Operation Valkyrie failed, and one by one the plotters
were found out, tortured and executed. Philipp von Boeselager - who
supplied the explosives that would rip through the Fuhrer's bunker
- miraculously escaped death. In this unique memoir Philipp tells
his extraordinary life story and the part he played in this, and
three other dramatic attempts on Hitler's life. He recounts how a
small band of resisters dared to stop evil and prevent profound
loss of lives. Ultimately they failed but the legacy of their
courage endures.
