July 20 was the culmination of the efforts of the German Resistance to overthrow the Nazi regime. Its failure, both in the Wolfschanze and then in Berlin's Bendlerblock, led to the arrest of more than 5,000 people, to the execution of about 200 people and the destruction of the resistance movement.

Particular attention is given to military resistance figures such as Stauffenberg, Ludwig Beck, Erwin von Witzleben, Günther von Kluge, Erich Hoepner, Hans Oster and Friedrich Olbricht. This underlines the modern German military doctrine, officially accepted by the "Bundeswehr", the German Army, that military officers have a moral duty which goes beyond the blind obedience of orders, and that those officers who plotted to kill Hitler were not traitors but heroes. The same point is made about other Germans who went into exile and assisted the Allied war effort against Germany, such as Marlene Dietrich.
And the progressiveness of the modern army to not repeat mistakes.
