Operation Valkyrie

When we think about people who were involved in the nazi party, we always tend to generalyze about them, and always is the same thing, they were bad. Yes, they did a lo things that damaged humanity and created a time of horrors among Europe, but they were also people who were involved in Nazi projects, who tried to stop Hitler and his followers to continue the war.

Some of these men, were officers like Friedrich Olbricht and coronel Claus Von Stauffernberg, attempt to bring order to Germany with a plan called "Operation Valkyrie" which involved the assassination of Hitler and a takeover of control of German cities. Between the principal motives they had, there was a strong bond for their beloved Germany, and they knew that Hitler was going to lose and the damages to germany would be bigger than expected.

So they saw an opportunity in Operation Valkyrie, that was an emergency continuity of goverment and control if by somehow one of the leaders could not continue their duty. The Valkyrie team, modified the operation in order to have control of German cities, disarm the SS, and arrest the different leadears once Hitler was death.

The plan was used in 1944, but unfortunately, failed. Stauffenberg was going to attend a meeting with Hiteler and some officers, he left the bomb and in the room and left to Berlin to take control. He started the operation, but when officers were noticed that Hitler was still alive, they arrested Stauffenberg and his associates. They were shot. They knew Germany was heading to defeat in war and destruction, so they wanted to save their home country.
