Isn't it always fascinating what kind of despicable, decadent and malicious "facts" and "evidence" totalitarian regimes manage to uncover and reveal about formerly highly decorated and appreciated associates, once they, frequently commanded by their conscience, begin to criticize or even turn openly against the regime, its dictator and its gorged leadership? It's as fascinating as that their secret ser..., er, the neutral and objective investigation committees, of course, never manage to find anything exculpating or positive.
I can really imagine Stauffenberg dancing half-naked in women's underwear in front of a mirror to jazz music. As much as I can imagine Hitler chewing on carpets. Not.
Everyone enjoys the liberty to form his own opinion about Stauffenberg, but two facts cannot be disputed:
Firstly, attempting to spare the lives of millions of German recruits and civilians during a war which unarguably was already lost at this time (summer 1944) isn't treacherous but a patriot's duty.
And secondly, whatever Stauffenberg stood for, it wasn't even remotely the pseudo-democratic, anti-fascist, multi-cultural, socialist nonsense today's cowardly governing "elite" of the FRG embraces: anti-German marionettes which really have the impertinence to claim him as one of theirs.
If Stauffenberg lived today, he would look at today's governing prostitutes with utmost disgust and would be considered a "right-wing extremist" and "enemy of the state" by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
