    It is being overshadowed by the 1969 Moon Landing, but today is the 75th anniversary of the July 20 1944 conspiracy.

    This photo is a commemoration of that day, and one of the hats has an actual attachment to one of the conspirators.

    The WH hat is Generalstab, in honor of v. Stauffenberg.

    The Imperial hat is Kaiserreich Generalstab, and belonged to the father of Stauffenberg's adjutant, Werner v. Haeften.

    Wonderful historical thread
    The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )

    1st July 1916

    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
