An in-depth analysis of Operation Valkyrie – the plot to kill Hitler.

Although far from a typical raid, the 20 July Plot – Operation Valkyrie – was still a daring and audacious attack undertaken by a small, very brave, group of determined individuals.

Hitler was badly shaken by the blast and, despite the fact that numerous other attempts had been made on the Führer’s life since he came to power, the July 20 Plot has achieved an almost mythic status.

Fully illustrated, this is the real story of the July 20 Plot that inspired Tom Cruise's Valkyrie.
