Plot – German Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg loves his country and has always been a loyal officer and a proud military man. However, forced to watch Hitler's horrific rise and the Second World War and, even worse, racial persecution, von Stauffenberg begins to hope that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Finally, it is he himself who goes into action, trying to persuade the leaders of the Eastern Front to overthrow the Führer. When the conspirators decide to implement the plan, using the strategy of Operation Valkyrie - an emergency plan Hitler himself had studied to consolidate the country in the event of his death - von Stauffenberg begins his mission: to assassinate the dictator and overthrow the Nazi government.
