Remembering the von Staufenberg plot

It was on this date, July 20, 1944 that the Staufenberg assassination plot against Adolf Hitler failed.

It took place at what was then Rastenburg in East Prussia, now called Kętrzyn, Warmia-Masuria in Poland.

There are those who argue that had Paulus' Sixth Army not been defeated by thr Red Army under the command of Marshal Georgii Zhukov at Stalingrad the Rastenburg plot might never have taken place.
