POD - July 20th 1944.
Von Stauffenberg boards a plane to fly to the Wolf's Lair in East Prussia to assassinate Hitler. The flight runs into mechanical difficulties and crashes. Stauffenberg and all aboard are killed. The bomb in Stauffenberg's briefcase detonates upon the impact of the plane - mingling with the explosion of the plane's fuel supply, and all evidence is destroyed in the burning wreckage.
Word of the accident reaches Hitler and the other conspirators at about the same time. Hitler is annoyed by the loss, but pays little attention - why should he? The conspirators abort their coup for that day.
What now?
Germany is still doomed, of course. Is there another attempt? Does Rommel survive the war? What happens?
