Secret Germany

In July 1944, as the Third Reich faced imminent defeat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg believed the only way to save Germany and millions of lives was to assassinate Hitler. He attempted this audacious plan by hiding a bomb-filled briefcase at a critical meeting, but the explosion failed to kill the dictator. This event triggered a brutal crackdown, leading to widespread executions and prolonging the war. In "Secret Germany," Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh explore this daring yet tragic anti-Nazi movement and its moral implications.
