The July Plot (1944) - The Assassination Attempt on Adolf Hitler by Claus von Stauffenberg

- This video I recorded at the remains of the so-called Wolfsschanze - or Wolf's Lair - which was Hitler's HQ for the Eastern Front. Back then located in Germany's easternmost province East Prussia near the city of Rastenburg (now Kętrzyn located in northeastern Poland). On this very spot the history COULD have changed tremendously and perhaps millions of lives could been saved. Here the July Plot unfolded: an assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler by Claus von Stauffenberg. It had to be followed up by Operation Valkyrie (German: Unternehmen Walküre). Something went wrong...

You're doing a great job. I learned a lot.
Very interesting piece of history right here...
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Hey I love your videos! They’re detailed but short and not dragged on for the view time, and I’m also happy that you genuinely care about your fans!!!! Keep it up!
Thank you:)
And I love it that the music is kept to minimum so I can concentrate on what he is saying.
👍
what has always baffled me, is the story that they had two explosive packages but (in the end) only one trigger and therefore disposed of the second bomb. Wouldn't keeping the second package of high explosives together make a much stronger explosion?
I don’t think they has much explosive experience . I think one of. Us could have done it
That's a good question. I can't tell!
The meeting was held to another place due to the warm weather.. The explosion was better supposedly to get away. So whether more was the solution here.
This is a great story. I have watched the movie Valkyrie a few times and I was on the edge the seat every time. Love your on location videos, those massive blocks of concrete give a good idea of how impregnable it was supposed to be
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a very interesting location. I was happy to shoot a video there.
You remind me of my high school history teacher. He taught us everything about WW2.
👌
Great video and very well told , keep on going !
Thanks!
Simply remarkable work, Stefan. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Many thanks for your message Matthew!
@@HistoryHustle My pleasure !!!
Good video. Thank you.
Thanks for your reply :)
Brilliant research Thank You for sharing your knowledge on location 👍💙
Yes, thanks. This was one of these locations I had to shoot this video at!
Excellent video Stefan ❤❤
👍👍👍
Another superb piece of work !!! You’re spoiling us, Stefan !!!
Many thanks for your message.
@@HistoryHustle My pleasure ! You are delighting and educating a huge amount of people, Stefan. I’m in Japan, as a resident teacher. If there is anything I can do that might suppose that would aid the spread and propagation of your impeccable work here, in East Asia, do not hesitate to let me know how I might do so. Bless you, Stefan. I can hardly cone up with the name of a RUclips uploaded remotely alike to you.
Interesting topic again. Stefan.
Always wondered what would have happened if the coup had succeeded.
Thanks!
Stefan being around Kętrzyn, you were not far from Mamerki. Mamerki holds complex of bunkers and other buildings housing at it's time 1500 soldiers and high ranking officers. It was used as command center during Operation Barbarossa. Unlike Wolfsschanze, most of the huge bunkers are in takt.
Okay, haven't made it there.
Great video again! Like always.. 😁👍🏻
Thanks, Jasper!
All thanks to a heavy Oak table and not enough time to arm the second bomb. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Like you said - the main problem was that Hitler did not get killed. The whole plan was based on his death. Since Hitler was still alive, the plan had no chance of success.
Indeed.
A neat summary of events around the July Plot.
Thank you!
Rommel definitely knew about the plot
Thanks. And it is likely Rommel was aware of it.
@@HistoryHustle How was he was away from Germany.
I like it when you speak the ranks of the officials smoothly
great
The plot failed for a simple reason: The second bomb was not armed and the briefcase was shoved behind the base of the table.
True.
They rushed itvsbd he should stated make oook 8f he was innocent bystander.
great video!
Thanks!
Stauffenberg had balls of steel
Respect
Fair point.
Please can you do a video on The Dieppe Raid? And the outcome on Allied strategy? And the reason why?
Its not really discussed in the UK because it was a massive failure
The Dieppe Raid is an often overlooked battle. I'd like to travel to that please and cover it on location. However, don't expect this to happen anytime soon.
It was a test for future d day, it also made the Germans paranoid and wasted resources fortifieding everywhere
Operation Valkery (don't know how to spell it)
yes
Walküre
Tom Cruise nailed his role
Good movie yes.
Interesting video could you also make a video about the assassination attempt of georg elser ?
Thanks and I can't tell if I will make that video. Who was he?
@@HistoryHustle he tried to kill Hitler in 1939. He started to prepare for that before the war broke out. He knew that Hitler made a speech in the „Bürgerbräukeller" every year so he placed a bomb there( the preparation for that took him 1 month because he had to carve a hole into a stone wall)
Hitler survived because he left 13 minutes before the explosion. He had to leave earlier because he took a train instead of a plane due to bad weather conditions.
The interesting thing is that the nazis didn't believe that he did that alone. They used his attempt for their propaganda and claimed that he worked for the British intelligence service.
Other people thought that he worked for the nazis and everything was made up.
The nazis executed him in 1945 before the end of the war in the concentration camp dachau.
His assassination attempt didn't get a lot of attention in the post war era until 3-4 decades ago. A film about that was published 5 years ago
@@trafalgarlaw7109
I read about that somewhere a long time ago. History has definitely glanced over it (somewhat) especially since Valkyrie the movie had stolen all the thunder.
You are kicking Mark Felton's ass.
Actually far from since this RUclipsr has waaaayyy more subs haha. But I guess you like my channel so that's good to hear.
Hey i adore Your passion real history lay down under every stone in my homeland POLAND. Enjoy
Many thanks 👍
This would have changed so much
It would have yes.
@@HistoryHustle I don't think that it would changed that much. Most dead soldiers were on the eastern front which would have seen no change. I further don't think that the western front would have seen that much difference because the wester allies have signed the treaty of Jalta. Maybe the Ersatzheer could have stopped the killing of Jews but this is about the only thing I could think of. Maybe the western powers could have reached Berlin or even Warsaw. But then the Soviets may have feel cheated and would have walzed through to Paris. Althistory has so many possibilities.
Indeed, we will never know..
One quick thing. Rommels fear was not the trial in Berlin but the "Sippenhaft". He feared for his wife and son. Funfact: His son Manfred became the Mayor of Stuttgart.
@Patricia Doran I read his book.
Didn't know this. Thanks for sharing.
Just home from work time to hustle!
Cheers!
Ik kende de film maar ik wist niet dat het in Polen was ga die plek een keer op zoeken
Zeker doen, nabij Ketrzyn!
Stauffenberg is one of Germany's most interesting characters. Yes, he failed to kill Hitler, but the man lived a very cool life
👍
nice one hus
👍
Well over 42 assassination plots where made on Hitler, all failed. Personally I feel something supernatural was in play.
Hitler himself believed that also.
There were 22 assassination attempts on Tito and 638 assassination plots on Castro
It’s more like bad assassination planning by the killers lol
Yes-the "supernatural" ability of British "intelligence" to not get anything right!
The amount of balls this guy had....
sure
Nice piece of well known but you don’t explain why it failed ? They are a few important facts that explain why
Feel free to add in information.
Hitler said to dr. morell I am invulnerable, I am immortal
thanks to Pervitine
@@jeroenburlage8906 that's true
@@GunnyKeith
when a german combat plane crashed in england. they came across these pills. immediately they started bombing those pharma factories. maybe that's the reason for their loss, or because they were attacked from all sides. through a crowd that just kept coming
@@jeroenburlage8906 great point
Hitler had those believes at some point.
I wish his plan was a success
Think of all the lives that would of been saved
At least he tryed
Indeed.
Did Hitler have any doubles?
Posable he had doubles in Berlin in 45 and he escaped....it wouldn't be that surprising if that was the truth
Can't say Hitler had any doubles.
The moment time travel is possible,atleast someone bring them a more powerful and reliable rcied device and see how history will unfold
Sounds like an interesting movie idea.
Stefan, you must protest against youtube allowing a dislike button on history hustle videos. While I admit it isn't used much on your videos, there's no reason to encourage further negativity in this world. Perhaps they could replace the "thumb down" video with a "two thumbs up" icon for "I really like it"? In case the "two thumbs up" phrase is not known in the Nederlands: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Thumbs_Up
Thanks man :)
how 1 suitcase caused the death of about 1 million people
In a way yes.
@@HistoryHustle you replied to me from a video 10 months ago? i am subbing
Welcome to the channel
Stauffenbergs wife and children were not punished though I believe?. Read it somewhere , great videos, top channel 🙂🙂
Thanks and I also believe they weren't punished.
@@HistoryHustle thanks for the reply, great channel mate 🙂🙂🙂
@@HistoryHustle According to Wikipedia, one of his sons became a Major General in the German Army
Het heeft een haar gescheeld
Klopt ja.
Yo I ain't gay but I'd give that sloppy to claus!
👌
What were the United States reaction to the assassinate attempted on Hitler and Tojo force to resignation as Prime Minister of Japan between July 18-20,1944 and did the American knew it were the end of the Axis
Can't tell.
first 26 seconds ago
Time flies
Sad thing is Germany may have still been a threat to Europe if this plot succeeded.
We will never know.
