Olbricht's dilemma was that during the two earliest and most crucial hours of July 20, he could not be sure what if anything had occurred at the Wolf's Lair.

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, one of Germany's most prestigious commanders, agreed with the conspirators that Hitler should be removed from power, but he looked on assassination with distaste and took no active part in the plot after having been seriously injured on July 17 in an Allied strafing attack.
In a counter-coup at Berlin headquarters, General Friedrich Fromm, who had known about and condoned the plot, sought to prove his allegiance by arresting a few of the chief conspirators, who were promptly shot (Stauffenberg, Olbricht, and two aides) or forced to commit suicide (Beck).
In subsequent days, Hitler's police rounded up the remaining conspirators, many of whom were tortured by the Gestapo to reveal their confederates and hauled before the Volksgericht (People's Court) to be excoriated by the dreaded Nazi judge Roland Freisler.

 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.
