Valkyrie. Philipp Von Boeselager433 руб
But when he discovered what the SS were doing to Jews and Gypsies in the summer of 1942 his enthusiasm quickly turned to disgust. When the Second World War broke out, Philipp von Boeselager led a cavalry unit first in France and later on the Russian Front. After several abortive assassination attempts, including one in which von Boeselager was supposed to shoot the Fuhrer with his own pistol, the plotters finally decided on a plan to blow Hitler up with a bomb. He joined a group of conspirators in a plot to kill Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. He then moved his cavalry unit to Berlin to take control of the city. Von Boeselager transported the explosives and passed them on to Claus von Stauffenberg. In an attempt to disguise his part in the conspiracy, von Boeselager hurried back to the eastern front with his unit. When the plot failed, the SS instituted a terrifying purge of senior army officers. Philipp survived the war and outlived all his fellow conspirators. One by one, fellow plotters were found out, tortured and executed, and it is a testimony to their fortitude that they never gave away von Boeselager. 2009. His family still owns the pistol with which he was supposed to shoot Hitler. |
