On July 20, 1944, a bomb planted by Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg exploded at the Wolf's Lair, intended to kill Adolf Hitler. Stauffenberg, desiring to end Hitler's dictatorship, led a coup involving high-ranking officials.

With the absence of prompt action, the opportunity to follow through Operation Valkyrie was lost, and by evening, Hitler still held power, declaring the coup a failure.
