What happens
The Plot to Assassinate Hitler (German: Der 20. Juli) is a 1955 West German feature film produced by CCC Film about the failed 20 July 1944 attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Falk Harnack directed and co-wrote the film's script with Günther Weisenborn. Wolfgang Preiss won the German Federal Film Award for his role as the rebel army officer, Claus von Stauffenberg. The film has a realism that comes very close to the style of a documentary. The Plot to Assassinate Hitler was released in the same year as G.W. Pabst's film, Es geschah am 20. Juli, (English title, Jackboot Mutiny), which deals with the same subject. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
