I don't normally condone bombing

But this could have saved so many lives

60 years ago, Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg and others attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in a coup attempt to oust the dictator. Stauffenberg and several other army officers were shot within hours. Hundreds of other men and women linked to the plot were later executed or sent to concentration camps.
