  • This is the location of the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Hitler, on July 20, 1944 by Claus von Stauffenberg.
  • As of 2007, there's a movie being made about this assassination called "Valkyrie" and starring Tom Cruise. The movie is set to open in 2008. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0985699/
  • I don't know about the movies listed above. Watch the movie called "The Desert Fox" about Erwin Rommel; the movie covers the attempted assassination. ER was a decent guy.
  • Is impressive and can hold a hundred years.
