Claus von Stauffenberg
German army officer and resistance leader
Claus Philipp Maria Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (15 November 1907 – 21 July 1944) was a German army officer and a leading member of the German resistance against Adolf Hitler. He is best known for his role in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler and remove the Nazi Party from power.
Early life
Stauffenberg was born in Jettingen-Scheppach, Kingdom of Bavaria, into an aristocratic family. He was one of three sons of Alfred Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and Caroline Schenk Gräfin von Stauffenberg. Claus and his brothers, Berthold and Alexander, were raised in a devoutly Roman Catholic household.
Military career
Stauffenberg joined the Reichswehr in 1926 and later served in the Wehrmacht during World War II. He was a member of the 10th Panzer Division and saw action in the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the North African Campaign. In 1943, he was severely wounded in an air raid in Tunis, losing his left eye, right hand, and two fingers on his left hand.
20 July plot
Stauffenberg became increasingly disillusioned with the Nazi regime and joined the resistance movement. He played a central role in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler and initiate a coup d'état. On 20 July 1944, Stauffenberg placed a bomb in a briefcase under a table in Hitler's Wolf's Lair headquarters. The bomb exploded, but Hitler survived. Stauffenberg and his co-conspirators were arrested and executed the following day.
Legacy
Stauffenberg is remembered as a symbol of resistance against tyranny. His actions have been the subject of numerous books, films, and documentaries. He is commemorated in Germany as a hero who stood against the Nazi regime.
