Plot: In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of The Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a near-inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of the Fuhrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe.

Die Prozesse gegen die Beteiligten und Mitwisser des Attentates auf Adolf Hitler am 20. Juli 1944 fanden vom 7. August 1944 bis in den März 1945 statt. An 9 Verhandlungstagen, zwischen dem 7. August und dem 20. Oktober 1944, wurde der Verlauf der Prozesse gefilmt. Ursprünglich für die Deutsche Wochenschau und Dokumentarfilme zusammengestellt, wurden die Aufnahmen von Reichspropagandaminister Goebbels zur "Geheimen Reichssache" erklärt.

Es werden Ausschnitte des Films "Verräter vor d...

The 20 July plot refers to the attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Führer of the Third Reich, inside his Wolf's Lair field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia. The primary purpose of the assassination attempt was to seize political control of Germany and its armed forces from the Nazi Party (including the SS) in order to obtain peace with the western Allies as soon as possible. But it was also assumed as "self-evident" that the German forces should continue to occupy Eastern European countries and Allies such as Poland or Czechoslovakia, while continuing to wage war against Soviet Union.
