Conspiracy. Germans against Hitler
19.99 €
The events of July 20, 1944 were the culmination and final point of the German anti-Hitler Resistance.
The German conspiracy against Hitler was a long-standing and large-scale phenomenon; it was an important part of the European anti-fascist movement. Members of the intra-German Resistance faced a dramatic dilemma: either contribute to their own country's defeat in the war to bring about the overthrow of Hitlerism, or attempt to overthrow the Nazi government themselves in order to make peace and avert national catastrophe. The activists of July 20, 1944, were defeated, but by their struggle against Hitler they saved the honor of the German people. As General von Tresckow, one of the leaders of the anti-Hitler conspiracy, said: "An attempt on Hitler must be made at any cost. If it fails, then, in spite of this, it is necessary to attempt a coup d'état. After all, the point here is not so much the practical purpose as to show that the German Resistance movement in the face of the whole world and history dared, without sparing its life, to make this decisive throw. Everything else is indifferent in comparison." In his new monograph "Conspiracy. Germans against Hitler" Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Historical and Archival Institute of the Russian State University for the Humanities B.L. Khavkin continues the story about the history of the Third Reich and the anti-Hitler Resistance.
