(詳細はAdolf Hitler and his top military associates entered the briefing hut of the Wolf's Lair military headquarters, a series of concrete bunkers and shelters located deep in the forest East Prussia, not far from the epic World War I Battle of Tannenberg. Suddenly there was an enormous explosion, which killed three officers, a stenographer and injured everyone else. This totally unexpected assassination attempt was the work of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an aristocrat who had become handicapped while serving in the North African theater of war. The bomb plot was a carefully planned coup d'état attempt against the Nazi regime, orchestrated by a group of disillusioned army officers. Their plan was to assassinate Hitler, seize power in Berlin, establish a new pro-Western government and save Germany from the total defeat. Immediately after arresting and executing the plot leaders in Berlin, the Gestapo, the secret police force of Nazi Germany, began arresting people involved or even suspected of being involved. The opportunity was also used to eliminate other Nazi critics remaining. In total, an estimated 7,000 people were arrested of which approximately 4,980 were executed, some slowly strangled with piano wire on Hitler's insistence. Among those executed were two field marshals, nineteen generals, twenty-six colonels, two ambassadors, seven diplomats, one minister, three secretaries of state, as well as the head of the Berlin police. This is a list of people who is known by name to have been a member of the coup attempt. __NOTOC__ ==A== *Major Wolfgang Abshagen ( * 1897 - † 1945) *Colonel Otto Armster (1891–1957), Head of the counterintelligence ("Abwehr") station in Vienna; arrested on 23 July 1944 and held captive until the end of the war.
