Caption

Adolf Hitler and senior Nazis, July 1944. The photograph was taken six days after the attempt on Hitler's life. On 20 July 1944, Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg left a briefcase packed with explosives in the briefing room of the 'Wof's Lair', Hitler's headquarters in East Prussia. Although the bomb exploded, Hitler escaped with only minor injuries. Stauffenberg and other officers implicated in the July Plot were arrested, tried and executed, some with terrible brutality. Hitler is pictured flanked by Field Marshal Keitel, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring and Martin Bormann.
