That's a very interesting read. It's worth asking the question whether Von Stauffenberg would have disliked Hitler's murderous regime so much if Germany had been winning the war.

As far as the movie goes, I'm afraid I can't bring myself to watch anything involving that jackass Tom Cruise.

It's an interesting story, but I feel the same way as D'oh. Tom Cruise is a disgusting, freakish little midget who can't act his way out of a wet paper sack.

(Other than that, he's alright, I guess...) :lol2:

I highly recommend this book, its the story a family that had two members involved in (and executed for) the plot. The book was written by the daughter, who is a journalist today.

You'll find these people weren't the heroic resistance types you saw in, say, France. Rather they were Prussian aristocrats who, after eventually warming to Hitler in the mid- to late-30s, turned against him when the war started going badly.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
