They have until the start of the Winterpause to prove that he had a plan to win the war and was a dedictaed Nazi.... otherwise they owe me a crate of Berliner. If they do prove this humbug they will not only rewrite history and have uncovered new evidence unknown to historians until now, but will also receive a crate of beer from me.
Just to start the ball rolling, some info from Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_Sche ... _July_plotOn 6 June, 1944, the Allies had landed in France on D-Day. Stauffenberg, like most other German professional military officers, had absolutely no doubt that the war was lost. Only an immediate armistice could avoid more unnecessary bloodshed and further damage to Germany, its people, and other European nations. However, in late 1943, he had written out demands with which he felt the Allies had to comply in order for Germany to agree to an immediate peace. These demands included Germany retaining its 1914 eastern borders, including the Polish territories of Wielkopolska and Poznań.[18] Other demands included keeping such territorial gains as Austria and the Sudetenland within the Reich, giving autonomy to Alsace-Lorraine, and even expansion of the current wartime borders of Germany in the south by annexing Tyrol as far as Bolzano and Meran. Non-territorial demands included such points as refusal of any occupation of Germany by the Allies, as well as refusal to hand over war criminals by demanding the right of "nations to deal with its own criminals". These proposals were only directed to the Western Allies - Stauffenberg wanted Germany only to retreat from western, southern and northern positions, while demanding the right to continue military occupation of German territorial gains in the east.[19]
That beer (and the standard understanding of modern history) is looking safe.
