Killing Hitler: Assassination Attempt

[Nephissa]

Philipp von Boeselager, believed to be the last surviving member of the inner circle of plotters who attempted to kill Hilter, dies at 90.

 

Mr. von Boeselager was first approached in 1942 to shoot both Hitler and Heinrich Himmler at close range. “It was no longer about saving the country, but about stopping the crimes,” he told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in a recent interview.

 

On March 13, 1943, with a Walther PP pistol in hand, Mr. von Boeselager prepared to assassinate both men, who were scheduled to hold a strategy session with Field Marshal Günther von Kluge, Mr. von Boeselager’s commanding officer and also a conspirator. When Himmler decided not to attend, Mr. von Kluge called off the mission.

I read about this earlier and was so very surprised to know that he survived. I salute the passing of a brave brave man. Not many if any man, could have done this or even tried to do it. He put himself in extreme danger.

Most of the approximately 200 conspirators, including Colonel von Stauffenberg, were rounded up and executed, while others committed suicide.

No one revealed Mr. von Boeselager’s role in the plot,

which is described in detail by the historian Peter Hoffmann in “The History of the German Resistance, 1933-1945.” As a result, he did not need to use the cyanide capsule he kept on hand. Fearing exposure, he kept the cyanide for the rest of the war.
