Stauffenberg’s Associates

The assassination attempt on Hitler that took place on the 20th of July 1944 is most prominently linked with the name of Stauffenberg. However, there were many others involved in the conspiracy who have never been afforded the attention and acknowledgement they deserve, despite the fact that the endeavour would not have been possible without their commitment. Vollmer and Keil introduce us to ten of the resistance fighters who took part in the failed coup d’état, describing their actions and motivations as well as the fates of their families. Also featuring interviews with Richard von Weizsäcker and Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist, the last living survivor of the assassination plot, this book gives us a much broader perspective on the diverse sources of resistance against National Socialism.
