History Channel - Valkyrie The Plot to Kill Hitler (2008)

Created as a companion documentary to the film Valkyrie, this History Channel documentary details the true story behind the plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler. Written and directed by Kevin Burns ('Batman Unmasked' and 'Star Wars The Legacy Revealed') and narrated by Robert Clotworthy, this in-depth documentary covers in great detail the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazi party, many of the failed assassination attempts to take down the Fuhrer including the story of Valkyrie, and gives voice to the spirit of the small but determined band of men whose sense of justice and honor could not be dissolved by the diabolical glamour of the Third Reich. Was it an act of treason or patriotism? Bold in concept and challenging in execution, learn the real story behind the Valkyrie plot–a plan by a group of German officers to assassinate Adolph Hitler and take control of the government. The events leading up to July 20, 1944 are brought to life through interviews with survivors, relatives, firsthand witnesses and historians. Newsreel footage, archival photographs and re-creations are also included. Discover what the Valkyrie Legacy means to Germans and Germany, and what it says about the sometimes complex nature of heroism, and the legacy of the Resistance overall.
