Discovery Channel - The Real Valkyrie Secret Plot to Kill Hitler (2004)

On July 20th 1944, a select group of senior German officers made a daring attempt to assassinate their leader, Adolf Hitler. Many high ranking officers in the German Army were appalled by the abhorrent crimes committed against civilians and enemy troops, which they believed to be morally wrong. Casualties among the German forces were enormous and many officers believed this was due to Adolf Hitler's insistence on pursuing disastrous offensive strategies. A growing number of army officers decided that the only way to save Germany was to eliminate Adolf Hitler and his supporters and stage a coup. They then hoped to negotiate a ceasefire with the Allies. The “July Plot”, led by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, was the closest anyone came to assassinating Adolf Hitler and overthrowing the Nazi government and Discovery Channel's Virtual History team has attempted to recreate the incredible tale in this groundbreaking documentary. With the use of state of the art Computer Generated Imagery, “The Secret Plot to Kill Hitler” is able to recreate and bring to life the extraordinary events that took place on July 20, 1944 and afford the viewer a rare insight into this plot, one of the most fascinating near misses of twentieth-century history.
