Wehrmacht headquarters on Bendlerstraße was where Army officers who opposed
Hitler planned the attempt on his life on 20 July 1944. After the attempt
failed, the leaders were rounded up and shot in the courtyard of this
building; among these was Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, who had planted the
bomb. Today the building houses the Memorial and Museum of the German
Resistance. The street has been renamed Stauffenbergstraße. (Gedenkstätte
Deutscher Widerstand) |
