Detailed explanation-1: -Table of Contents. On July 20, 1944, during World War II (1939-45), a plot by senior-level German military officials to murder Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and then take control of his government failed when a bomb planted in a briefcase went off but did not kill the Nazi leader.
Detailed explanation-2: -At around 12.45pm the bomb exploded, destroying the conference room and killing three officers and a stenographer. Hitler survived, shielded from the blast by the solid-oak conference table leg. His trousers were in tatters and he suffered a perforated eardrum, but he was alive.
Detailed explanation-3: -In December 1944, Germany made a final attempt to defeat the Allies. With a large-scale attack, Hitler and his generals hoped to force the Allies to accept a truce.
Detailed explanation-4: -A planned simultaneous coup in Berlin likewise miscarried, and Stauffenberg and a few of his coconspirators were summarily executed shortly after midnight on July 21 in Berlin-the first of the several thousands who ultimately died in the bloody aftermath of the conspiracy.
