  Kreisau Circle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kreisau Circle (German: Kreisauer Kreis) was the name the Gestapo gave to a group of Germans centered at the Kreisau estate of Helmuth James Graf von Moltke in order to envision an alternative to Nazism.
The group was united by its abhorrence of Nazism and its desire to conceive of a new Germany after the fall of Hitler.
On 19 January 1944 Moltke was arrested and the Kreisau Circle fell in disarray.

The successful completion of the Danish War (1864) and of the Austro-Prussian War (1866) was due to his tactics, and in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71) Moltke’s genius, evinced especially in his plan of mobilization, led to complete Prussian victory.
Moltke owed many of his military successes to the elasticity of his strategy.

Graf Stauffenberg was, however, quite fond of 'pure National Socialism' which tended to combine social concerns with the national interest and to end the class struggle.
Gisevius was a very ambitious man, and Graf Stauffenberg was not likely to agree to the position Gisevius expected for himself, namely that of a 'Reich Commissar for Purges and Restoration of Public Order' and that he was to be put in charge of the entire civilian executive.
Graf Stauffenberg also showed interest in the political future of a post-nazi Germany (who wouldn't?), and Gisevius saw this as a military officer meddling in politics.
