Once the coup collapsed, the Nazis outdid themselves in their fury. It remained to be seen who would be caught in their net.
Some conspirators committed suicide. Some managed to escape.
Thousands were rounded up. The Gestapo tortured their victims, placed them on show trials, and hanged them.
At their trials before the Nazi ‘People’s Court’, with nothing left to lose, the July plotters proved remarkably difficult to cow.
Relatives of conspirators were also arrested and imprisoned.
Nina von Stauffenberg was held separately from her children who were placed in an orphanage.
In January 1945, in solitary confinement, she gave birth to her fifth child.
As Germany unravelled, the mechanism of revenge took over.
Finally, his ambitions in ruins and having caused the deaths of millions, Hitler committed suicide, and the Reich surrendered.
The war over, Nina was reunited with her children.
The July plotters’ attempts to replace Hitler and end the war failed, but their example of moral courage leaves a legacy for future generations.
