| | Claus von Stauffenberg |
 | | According to the plan, after Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler were assassinated, Ludwig Beck, Erwin von Witzleben and Friedrich Fromm would take control of the German Army and seize key government buildings, telephone and signal centres and radio stations. |
 | | The plot unraveled, however, because Hitler survived the attack, co-conspirator General Friedrich Olbricht's neglected to set the coup in motion during first two hours after the attempt, and the conspirators' failed to seize any radio stations or retain authority over reserve army troops in Berlin. |
 | | In an attempt to protect himself, Fromm organized the execution of Stauffenberg along with three other conspirators, Friedrich Olbricht and Werner von Haeften, in the courtyard of the War Ministry. |
