Скачать или смотреть July 20, 1944: The Day Hitler’s Assassination Failed — Then the Gestapo Began Its Terror

On July 20, 1944, a single briefcase inside Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair nearly changed the course of the war. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, wounded yet resolute, walked into the map conference carrying the last hope of an internal revolt. The plan was simple in theory: remove the dictator, activate Operation Valkyrie, and seize control before the regime could react. But history turned on small accidents—an altered meeting location, a heavy table, a briefcase shifted inches away.

This documentary follows the tense hours between East Prussia and Berlin, where uncertainty spread through the Bendlerblock and loyalty became a life-or-death calculation. As the plot faltered, powerful figures like Himmler and Goebbels moved to restore control, while investigators tightened a nation-wide net. The People’s Court, led by Roland Freisler, became a stage of public humiliation, and the crackdown reached far beyond officers to families and civilians.

From the explosion to the collapse of hope, this is the story of a failed turning point—and the ruthless aftermath that tried to erase resistance from history.
