In July 1944 it became evident it was only a matter of time until Nazi Germany would be defeated. The Allied forces had landed on Normandy during D-Day and the Soviets were slowly penetrating Eastern Prussia. Within Germany, General Henning von Tresckow was asked whether it would be worth it to continue with their secret operation. He answered with a resolute yes: the attack had to be carried out at all costs. The world and future generations should know the German resistance dared to take the decisive step and was willing to sacrifice their own lives for it. Among the conspirators was a colonel, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg. The man, missing a hand and eye, wholeheartedly agreed. He had already begun with the preparations.
