Popular historian Dr. Gary Hylander will give another historical lecture in his 2019 series: Operation Valkyrie @ 75: The Plot to Assassinate Hitler

Join us as we examine the details of the plot to assassinate Hitler. By 1944, with the Allied landings in France and the collapse of the Eastern Front, conspirators within the German Officer Corps planned a coup to eliminate Hitler and to open negotiations with the West to end the war. After careful  planning, Col. Claus von Stauffenberg volunteered to place a bomb in Hitler's conference room timed to explode during his daily military briefing.
