but it was a loosely organized effort.
Speaking on "German Resistance to Hitler," von Stauffenberg said several abortive attempts were made on der Fuehrer's life from 1938-1944.
"Apparently, even demons have their guardian angels," Stauffenberg quipped.
"Hitler was more cunning and ruthless than most people imagined," von Sauffenberg said. "Most of his possible opponents were sent to concentration camps."
Baron von Stauffenberg gave this as a reason for the apparent lack of resistance during the early years of Hitler's rise to power.
VON STAUFFENBERG related several accounts of attempts to stop Hiter, either by assassination or resistance.
In 1938, several German officials sent a message to the British government, promising that the Germans would be able to stop Hitler if the British would stand firm and ignore Hitler's threats to take Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland. The Germans hoped to avoid war by this action, von Stauffenberg said.
Bombs were the preferred method in assassination attempts. Hitler escaped assassination all three times. Once when giving a speech he only spoke for seven minutes, when the bomb had been set to detonate in twenty. Another time, according to von Stauffenberg, a bomb planted in Hitler's plane failed to work at high altitude.
THE MOST FAMOUS attempt cast von Sauffenberg's cousin in a principal role. Count Klaus Schenk von Stauffenberg, who was never searched, placed a bomb under a table at which Hitler was sitting. Although the table and the room disintegrated, Hitler was not killed.
Von Stauffenberg concluded that a resistance movement definitely existed.
