Colonel Claus Philipp Maria Justinian Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg was a German army officer best known for his failed attempt on 20 July 1944 to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the Wolf's Lair. Despite opposing democracy, and at first agreeing with the Nazi Party's nationalistic aspects, he joined the German resistance within the Wehrmacht as the war progressed. He knew Hitler was losing the war and opposed the criminal character of the dictatorship. Along with Major General Henning von Tresckow and General Hans Oster, he was one of the central figures of the conspiracy against Hitler within the Wehrmacht. For his involvement in the movement, he was executed by firing squad shortly after Operation Valkyrie.
