Operation Valkyrie
Adolf Hitler's contigency plan to keep the NSDAP in power, in the event Germany was overrun by a uprising/ foreign force. The plan would be authorized by either Hitler or the General of the Heer (Army) Resrve, the plan would have all reserve soldiers and Waffen/ SS troopers secure key parts to the Reich's leadership.
- Colonel Claus Von Stuffenberg, General Olbricht, and the other July 20, 1944 (Hitler Assissination attempt) changed Valkyrie to exclude the SS from the plan, therefor, they could use the Heer to seize control of the Government and stop the Nazi Party (Without them even knowing it) the plan, needless to say, failed and over 5,000 where executed.
