Henning von Tresckow

Tresckow organized a failed assassination attempt on Hitler on March 13, 1943, by placing a bomb on Hitler's plane during a visit to Army Group Centre headquarters at Smolensk. The bomb failed to detonate.

Tresckow was a key planner of the July 20 plot to assassinate Hitler. He recruited Stauffenberg to carry out the bombing and coordinated the coup plans from the Eastern Front. He was the moral driving force behind the conspiracy.

Upon learning of the failure of the July 20 plot, Tresckow faked a partisan attack and committed suicide on July 21, 1944, near Kr
