Valkyrie: an interview with Claus von Stauffenberg's grandson 

He had flaws like believing the enslavement of Poland was their right. But yes a profile in strength and courage.

@@williambrock3534 I think that was at first

Not really, the conspirators were all Prussians who were fine with supporting the war until they started losing it.

Massacre88444 um highly doubt that

Yeah, it's just like they interviewed the real person (Stauffenberg himself). He still alive, get dressed and have looks in modern style.

& both so handsome

Of course he can,his grandfather was a murderer who when the Germans started to lose ,decided to turn against his guru Hitler,typical german bullshitter( oops,sorry not German,since Germany is Bavaria,and the Germany exists since 18 hundreds,Brandenburgian)

How brave you are to say all this-still would you do what he done?...i don't think so....

Anil Kumar Suvvaru Venkata, I can definitely understand your point. Stauffenberg had never starved millions of people like Churchill did. Yet, he is still the bad guy simply because he's German. And he had chosen to side with the resistance even before the Stalingrad catastrophe, not just because the German was losing. Surely, he was not politically correct by our modern standard. However, if Churchill can be celebrated as a hero, why can't Stauffenberg who risked his life to save millions?

Samyaza Morningstar GAVE his life to try and save millions. The guy attacking him obviously didn't do proper research on the man.

Arthur Bunsch The entire plot started in 1941 and took until 1943 to get someone who as able too.

He would have been a hero had he attempted to kill him in 1940 when all Germans were Nazis as they were winning the war.

Semsem guess what he was a hero he and the others tried and lost their lives.

He certainly was.

He was a hero. There were plots against Hitler way before the war started, however as the war progressed and people were concerned with that it became easier to organize and operate. Also people started to realize they were being lied to and that Hitler was killing and persecuting his own people

A real hero would explode those bomb on his body and would be be sure of his mission's end.

it gives me a strange wave of goosebumps that his last words were "long live sacred Germany!"..

I visited there last year as well. It was deeply moving and I walked so carefully out of reverence for the memory of these brave true German patriots.

The resemblance is uncanny. Claus von Stauffenberg was extremely handsome and charismatic.

he looks like tom cruise

All the nazis were German patriots fighting for Germany,Stauffenberg wasa hardcore hitler supporter till the time when they started to lose the war,tgan like a weaseo they wanted to salvage anything they can.He hated the jews as much as Hitler,.

sorry i don't discuss with ignorants

Sounds like you knew him personally and all about him...how come?

You so pretty

Actually he wasn't, you should do more reading on the subject. He in fact witnessed a massacre in Russia while serving as a staff officer and the experience deeply shocked him. It was from that point forward that he realised just what the Nazi's were capable of and he resolved to do something about it.

No he was not.

Ok, but what has that to do with this video?

@@jeffrandall4046 WWII

@@shabaanj8413 Yes he was. He went places and did things that made him one.

@Halo Jripp He was my uncle. And thanks.

And the Co believers/plotters.

Oberst Claus Von Stauffenberg ist ein wahrer Patriot, ein ehrenwerter Mann in einer Bosen Zeit in der Geschichte der Menschheit.

Not humiliation. But from a dark history that has stained Germany for years

*GRAND

Grandfather

Gross father

@@Nelo_Wolf Such a huge difference.

Indeed he is.

Whatever some people may write here, as a Russian, and as a grandson of someone who fought the war, I congratulate you on having such a heroic relative.

My great Uncle is General Fredrich Olbritch. I'm trying to find footage of him. He looks Exactly like my Uncle Chuck

Courage

@Klara vs That's so cool! That must be so awesome for you knowing you're related to one of the world's all-time greatest heroes.

A Hero.

of course his father looks like the mother side of the family, how could the genes of a women married with Claus von Stauffenberg not be stronger than Stauffenbergs genes himself xd It needs "at least" second genneration^^

White Rose ?

same gurl

Klara you know he was not in public until the movie.

He played the role of Henning von Tresckow's aide, presumably based on Fabian von Schlabrendorff.

Michael Akkerman you are right however even if you may know that Hitler survive , you don't know how it was made how the whole operation was carried out and how closed they were to successfully kill Hitler , this elements can create a certain atmosphere of suspense in the film and they tried to exploite that using the point of view of the plotters

Michael Akkerman Agreed!

Neither did many of the BRITISH actors. So your point is? I hate Tom Cruise with a passion, however, I'll give him that he gave one of his most contained performances.

No film is ever perfect in its depiction, however, if a film like this does anything it serves as a sketch to those who want to know more to actually open up a history book or eighty in order to learn the more intricate details as I did with the Russian Revolution after watching the film "Nicholas and Alexandra". I love the film "Black Hawk Down" but as the technical commentary on the bluray said, those being MSGT Matt Eversmann, Lee Van Arsdale, Danny McKnight and Tom Matthews who all were active participants in the events in Mogadishu, no film could accurately depict what it was like on the ground and in the air on October 3rd, 1993. However, what Ridley Scott and crew did was give an encapsulated version of those events. If anyone wants to investigate further, as I did, go read the book Mark Bowden, or go and look at the documentaries that are included on the third disc on the home video release. There's a ton of background material on the home video release of "Valkyrie". Hate to have to say this but no audience member is interested in the hows and whys someone in Von Stauffenberg's position took the position he did to act why he did except it is stated in the film that he was tired of the losses Germany as undergoing at the time. All those losses were due to Hitler and his "team's" gross mismanagement of the war. All of those involved in the July Plot were tired of war. Plain and simple. They wanted to get Hitler out of the way in order to begin negotiations with the West to end the war. I think the film spelled that out pretty clearly. If you can't or don't understand that, then I have to wonder what film you were actually watching. Because I understood it perfectly.

couldn't agree more! A darker and morally ambiguous Stauffenberg would be awesome. Nowadays, people love anti-hero and Stauffenberg can fit into that kind of role. A conflicted soldier with a war going on in his mind. However, this film is from 10 years ago.

They were made by Hugo Boss based on Hitler's designs.
