The Fragile Memory of Resistance in a Divided Europe Monday's commemorations in Berlin marked 82 years since "Operation Valkyrie," the ill fated attempt to overthrow Adolf Hitler and bring an end to the Nazi terror regime that ravaged Germany and the world.
This event, which saw Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and his co conspirators execute a daring plan to assassinate Hitler, has left an indelible mark on European history.
The story of von Stauffenberg's attempt has become an integral part of the German national narrative, serving as a reminder of the lengths to which some individuals were willing to go to challenge the brutal Nazi regime.
