http://www.executedtoday.com/2008/07/21/1944-claus-von-stauffenberg-july-20-plot-to-kill-hitler/ Now that Fromm saw which way the wind was blowing, he acted with alacrity: many executions in the days to come were the product of Hitler's vengeance, but this night, Claus von Stauffenberg, Albrecht Mertz von Quirnheim, Friedrich Olbricht, and Werner von Haeften were shot on Fromm's orders for Fromm's benefit. Here's Shirer's description of the fatal scene: Fromm … had quickly made up his mind to eliminate these men and not only to cover up the traces - for though he had refused to engage actively in the plot, he had known of it for months, sheltering the assassins and not reporting their plans - but to curry favor with Hitler as the man who put down the revolt. In the world of the Nazi gangsters it was much too late for this, but Fromm did not realize it. He … announce[d] that "in the name of the Fuehrer" he had called a session of a "court-martial" (there is no evidence that he had) and that it had pronounced death sentences on four officers: "Colonel of the Genera Staff Mertz, General Olbricht, this colonel whose name I no longer know [Stauffenberg, his aide], and this lieutenant [Haeften]." … In the courtyard below in the dim rays of the blackout-hooded headlights of an Army car the four officers were quickly dispatched by a firing squad. Eyewitnesses say there was much tumult and shouting, mostly by the guards, who were in a hurry because of the danger of a bombing attack - British planes had been over Berlin almost every night that summer. Stauffenberg died crying, "Long live our sacred Germany!"
Why did Claus von Stauffenberg hate Hitler?
He hated him because he knew how he was decieving Germany and how innocent people were being massacred because he ordered it. And how the Jews were treated by his Nazi soldiers, because he treated them like inferiors. And because of him Germany would be an enemy to America and England. And would be occupied later on after the war by foreigners.
What if operation valkyrie succeeded?
Hitler would have been dead.The concentration camps would have been shut down.Claus von Stauffenberg wouldn't have been executed.
