Interesting article posted today on the BBC website, featuring an interview with Berthold Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, son of Col Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg who attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler seventy years ago today.

Hi Carl, nice posting, I knew that-there had to be something about this today. Shame The Monster did not die in those trousers.
They also named a street just around the corner from the Reichstag. Von Stauffenberg Strasse. I saw it just before we visited the Reichstag. Well worth going up to the top and letting your mind run. Interesting fact: that over 70% of soldiers defending the RS were Foreigners.
Nice to see a picture of CVS's son, he must have had a good life on the back of his fathers heroic actions.
Regards SK
