The target is Hitler
The plan is…
VALKYRIE
Based on the unknown true story
There are some missed opportunities throughout History for sure! Still, Operation Valkyrie, even if unsuccessful, is worth a movie: it gives a more tangible ground to the fact that Germany was not all Nazi.

Germany trapped itself by letting the Nazis grab the the power. But some German citizens tried to fix the situation. Unfortunately they did not succeed. Nonetheless their memory will not be forgotten!

Curiously the movie Valkyrie does not seem to have a wide support so far: it is because of Tom Cruise’s involvement in Scientology… Germany is afraid of Tom Cruise perverting the image of one of the rare German heroes of the Second World War.
Well, even I share their concerns about this sect in general, I still think that the movie Valkyrie is a positive thing: the story of Colonel Von Stauffenberg deserves to be known by the rest of the world!

Valkyrie is based on actual events, it follows a plot to assassinate Hitler during the height of World War II. The plot leader, Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg is starred by Tom Cruise.
