Review:
The best thing about watching movies based on real events is that it gives a better idea about the particular event, the circumstances, history background which last longer in the memory. It is the way of preserving history.
Valkyrie released in 2008 with Tom Cruise as Cornel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg who worries about the future of Germany. He thinks either he can save Germany or Fhurer Hitler, but not both.
Operation Valkyrie is the plan to seize the government after Hitler's health by utilizing the reserve army. It avoids a takeover of government by SS. The Schutzstaffel was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
There have been many attempts to kill Hitler before but he also carelessly approved the changes in Operation Valkyrie without examining which benefited Cornel.
Cornel Claus von Stauffenberg was committing treason for the sake of Germany. All he wanted was to stop chaos, destruction, and stop butchery of innocent jews.
Morally, it is a good deed to worry about the motherland, but he had taken an oath to be loyal to his fhurer.
Cornel Bombed in the meeting and spread the news that Hitler died. Operation Valkyrie is executed. But somehow Hitler survived which made the plan unsuccessful to seize Berlin.
Some officers in the German Army wanted to show they are different from Hitler. They were the true patriot and lovers of humanity. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful to stop chaos. At least they made an attempt, they deserve respect.
All the officers who executed Operation Valkyrie were executed. The last word of Cornel was "Long Live Our Secret Germany".
If successful, this event could change the course of history.
