1943 Claus Schenk Graf Von Stauffenberg Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (Retrieved on October 6, 2009 from http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_Schenk_Graf_von_Stauffenberg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_Schenk_Graf_von_Stauffenberg ) Claus Philipp Maria Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (15 November 1907 – 21 July 1944) was a German army officer and Catholic aristocrat who was one of the leading members of the failed 20 July plot of 1944 to kill German dictator Adolf Hitler and remove the Nazi Party from power in World War II Germany. Along with Henning von Tresckow and Hans Oster, he was one of the central figures of the German Resistance movement within the Wehrmacht. Early life Stauffenberg was the third of four sons (the others being the twins Berthold and Alexander and his own twin brother Konrad Maria Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, who died in Jettingen on 16 November, 1907) of Alfred Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, the last Oberhofmarschall of the Kingdom of Württemberg, and Caroline Schenk Gräfin (Countess) von Stauffenberg, née Gräfin von Üxküll-Gyllenband. Claus was born in the Stauffenberg castle of Jettingen between Ulm and Augsburg, in the eastern part of Swabia, at that time in the Kingdom of Bavaria, part of the German Empire. The Stauffenberg family is one of the oldest and most distinguished aristocratic Catholic families of southern Germany. Among his maternal Protestant ancestors were several famous Prussians, including Field Marshal August von Gneisenau. In his youth, he and his brothers were members of the Neupfadfinder, a German Scout association and part of the German Youth movement. Like his brothers, he was carefully educated and inclined toward literature, but eventually took up a military career. In 1926, he joined the family's traditional regiment, the Bamberger Reiter- und Kavallerieregiment 17 (17th Cavalry Regiment) in Bamberg. It was around this time that the three brothers were introduced by Albrecht von Blumenthal to poet Stefan George's influential circle, Georgekreis, from which many notable members of the German resistance would later emerge. George dedicated Das neue Reich ("the new Empire") in 1928, including the Geheimes Deutschland ("secret Germany") written in 1922, to Berthold. The work outlines a new form of society ruled by a hierarchical spiritual aristocracy. George rejected any attempts to use it for mundane political purposes, especially Nazism. Stauffenberg was commissioned as a Leutnant (second lieutenant) in 1930. He studied modern weapons at the Kriegsakademie in Berlin-Moabit, but remained focused on the use of the horse — which continued to carry out a large part of transportation duties throughout the Second World War - in modern warfare. His regiment became part of the German 1st Light Division under General Erich Hoepner, who had taken part in the plans for the September 1938 German Resistance coup, cut short by Hitler's unexpected diplomatic success in the Munich Agreement. The unit was among the troops that moved into the Sudetenland, the part of Czechoslovakia that had a German-speaking majority, as agreed upon in Munich. However, Stauffenberg disliked the method by which the Sudetenland was annexed and strongly disapproved of the invasion of Prague. Pre-war misgivings Although Stauffenberg agreed with some of the Nazi Party's nationalistic aspects, he found many aspects of its ideology repugnant and never became a member of the party. Moreover, Stauffenberg remained a practicing Catholic. The Catholic Church had signed the Reichskonkordat in 1933, the year Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power. Stauffenberg vacillated between a strong personal dislike of Hitler's policies and a respect for what he perceived to be Hitler's military acumen. On top of this, the growing systematic ill-treatment of Jews and suppression of religion had offended Stauffenberg's strong personal sense of religious morality and justice. Tunisia, 1942 In November 1942, the Allies landed in French North Africa, and the 10th Panzer Division occupied Vichy France (Case Anton) before being transferred to the Tunisian Campaign, as part of the Afrika Korps. In 1943, Stauffenberg was promoted to Oberstleutnant i.G. (lieutenant-colonel of the general staff), and was sent to Africa to join the 10th Panzer Division as its Operations Officer in the General Staff (Ia). On 19 February, Rommel launched his counter-offensive against British, American and French forces in Tunisia. The Axis commanders hoped to break rapidly through either the Sbiba or Kasserine Pass into the rear of the British 1st Army. The assault at Sbiba was halted, so that Rommel concentrated on Kasserine Pass where primarily the Italians in the form of their 7th Bersaglieri Regiment and 131st Centauro Armoured Division had defeated the American defenders. During the fighting, Stauffenberg drove up to be with the leading tanks and troops of the 10th Panzer Division. The division, together with the 21st Panzer Division, took up defensive positions near Mezzouna on 8 April. While he was driving from unit to unit, directing them, his vehicle was strafed on 7 April, 1943 by British fighter-bombers and he was severely wounded. He spent three months in hospital in Munich, where he was treated by Ferdinand Sauerbruch. Stauffenberg lost his left eye, his right hand, and 2 fingers on his left hand. He jokingly remarked to friends never to have really known what to do with so many fingers when he still had all of them. For his injuries, Stauffenberg was awarded the Wound Badge in Gold on 14 April, 1943 and for his courage the German Cross in Gold on 8 May, 1943.

(Translated from the German Wikipedia page) (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_Schenk_Graf_von_Stauffenberg) In the resistance, 1943–1944 For rehabilitation, Stauffenberg was sent to his home, Schloss Lautlingen (today a museum), then still one of the Stauffenberg castles in southern Germany. Initially, he felt frustrated not to be in a position to stage a coup himself. But by the beginning of September 1943, after a somewhat slow recovery from his wounds, he was positioned by the conspirators and was introduced to Henning von Tresckow as a staff officer to the headquarters of the Ersatzheer ("Replacement Army" - charged with training soldiers to reinforce first line divisions at the front), located on the Bendlerstrasse (later Stauffenbergstrasse) in Berlin. There, one of Stauffenberg's superiors was General Friedrich Olbricht, a committed member of the resistance movement. The Ersatzheer had a unique opportunity to launch a coup, as one of its functions was to have Operation Valkyrie in place. This was a contingency measure which would let it assume control of the Reich in the event that internal disturbances blocked communications to the military high command. Ironically, the Valkyrie plan had been agreed to by Hitler but was now secretly changed to sweep the rest of his regime from power in the event of his death. A detailed military plan was developed not only to occupy Berlin, but also to take the different headquarters of the German army and of Hitler in East Prussia by military force after the suicide assassination by Axel von dem Bussche in late November 1943. Stauffenberg had von dem Bussche transmit these written orders personally to Major Kuhn once he had arrived at Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair) near Rastenburg, East Prussia (today K ętrzyn, Poland).

  • Operation Valkyrie
    Operation Valkyrie Rastenburg, 20th July 1944 Claus Philipp Maria Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (Jettingen- Scheppach, 15th November 1907 – Berlin, 21st July 1944) was a German army officer known as one of the leading officers who planned the 20th July 1944 bombing of Hitler’s military headquarters and the resultant attempted coup. As Bryan Singer’s film “Valkyrie”, starring Tom Cruise as the German officer von Stauffenberg, will be released by the end of December, SCALA is glad to present you the story of the 20 July plot through the historical photographs of its German collections.

After the explosion of a mine on 7th March 1943, von Stauffenberg lost his right hand, the left eye and two fingers of the left hand. Notwithstanding his disablement, he kept working for the army even if his anti-Nazi believes were getting firmer day by day. In fact he had realized that the 3rd Reich was leading Germany into an abyss from which it would have hardly risen. There was no time to lose, they needed to do something immediately or their country would have been devastated.

  • 115 4.4 Erinnerungs
    4.4 Erinnerungs- und Gedenkrituale Abbildung 10 Kranzniederlegung am 20. Juli im Bendler-Block Wolfgang Thierse (2. Reihe, l.) läßt im Innenhof des Bendler-Blocks vor der Gedenktafel für die fünf am 20. Juli 1944 ermordeten Offiziere durch zwei Soldaten einen Kranz niederlegen. Kranzniederlegungen mit Beteiligung von Staatsgästen finden üblicherweise an einer der bei- den wichtigsten Gedenkstätten der BRD statt. In Berlin wurde nach einem längeren Diskussi- onsprozeß nach der Vereinigung die Neue Wache im historischen Zentrum der Stadt ›Unter den Linden‹ zur ›Zentralen Gedenkstätte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland‹ erklärt. Die vielen Facetten, die in der Historie dieser Stätte zu Tage treten, lassen sich hier nur kurz andeuten: Das Schinkelsche Bauwerk von 1817/18 - ursprünglich tatsächlich Wache für die umliegen- den Palais - diente ab 1931 als ›Reichsehrenmal für die Gefallenen des Ersten Weltkrieges‹. Nach seiner Zerstörung 1944 und dem Wiederaufbau zehn Jahre später wurde es 1962 in der DDR zur ›Gedenkstätte für die Opfer des Faschismus‹ und 1966 zum ›Mahnmal für die Opfer des Faschismus und Militarismus‹ - ausgestattet mit ständigem Ehrenposten und wöchentli- chem zeremoniellem Wachwechsel. Heute gibt anstelle der die Toten ehrenden Ewigen Flamme eine Plastik von Käthe Kollwitz, die eine Mutter mit ihrem im Krieg ermordeten Sohn in den Armen zeigt, eine Gelegenheit zum ›Blick von unten‹ auf den Krieg - aus dem 115 Blickwinkel der Leidenden. Diskussionen entsponnen sich mehrfach zwischen den für die Skulptur und ihre Aufstellung verantwortlichen Kollwitz-Erben mit ihrem Anliegen der Ent- militarisierung der Stätte im Kollwitzschen Geiste und den Notwendigkeiten militärisch- staatlicher Repräsentation, die an und in der Wache nach wie vor regelmäßig bei besonderen Anlässen stattfindet (Volkstrauertag, Kranzniederlegung durch einen Staatsgast).
