Stauffenberg was a leader of the failed 20 July plot of 1944 that aimed to kill the German dictator, Adolf Hitler, and to remove the Nazi Party from power in Germany. With Henning von Tresckow and Hans Oster, Stauffenberg was one of the central figures of the German resistance within the Wehrmacht.
For his involvement in the plot to kill Hitler, Stauffenberg was executed, as were many other German resistance members.
