"Valkyrie" is a new movie about the assassination attempt on Hitler. It is also the name of a book about the many attempts on Hitler's life. Valkyrie was a code name for a German operation that would take over the government in case someone attempted to over-throw Hitler's government OR if he was killed. This plan laid out the details of how the military would maintain control of the capital in Berlin and all the governmental cities in the country. This would ensure that the Nazi would maintain power. The people plotting to kill HItler knew that if they killed him then someone just as bad, such as Georbels or Goering, would take his place. So they got their people to re-write the Plan so that the Nazi's would not take over the control of the country but rather the local National Guard. Then they could control the local army and keep the Nazi's out of power.

Where did operation Valkyrie take place?

Operation Valkyrie- the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler and overthrow of his Nazi government- took place primarily in two places. Hitler was bombed during a meeting with several high ranking officers at the "Wolf's Lair" headquarters building in Rastenburg, East Prussia, which is now called Ketrzyn, Poland. After the bombing, the colonel who bombed Hitler fled to Berlin, Germany, to meet with the other conspirators and attempt to take control of the government. However, Hitler survived the bombing, and the attempted overthrow of the Nazis failed. The conspirators were executed, and many more people were arrested or executed in relation to the assassination attempt.

Valkyrie tried to kill hitler-did he die?

No, he called the people who planted the bomb and said that it hardly touched him. So, operation Valkyrie was a completefailure So, Tom Cruise Von stauffenburg) and a couple of his soldiers went to kill Hitler themselves. But they were surrounded by soldiers, so there was no escape. So Hitler sent them to the execution wall to be killed. But in the end, instead of showing you how Hitler died, they said that he killed himself. Hitler died April 30, 1945. He supposedly shot himself in the left temple although the skull only shows signs of a bullet being lodged in the back of the skull, from behind. He was also have said to have taken a cyanide tablet because his worst fear was to be captured by the Allies and he wanted to prevent this by making sure he was dead Although the most popular version of Hitler's death is shooting his family (even his dog) then setting his house on fire, taking cyanide and then turning the gun on himself. There is heavy evidence pointing to assination by most likely the Russians


Why did Valkyrie fail?

It failed because the plan to kill Hitler failed, but also because there were too many people to control in his empire. That is, the "rebellion" could not contain all of the necessary people from bring word of Hitler's survival. Once the government found out he was alive, the plan quickly unravelled.
