I was rereading William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. He said that Von Stauffenberg was recruited because part of his duties was giving reports in meetings attended by Hitler. He further said that Goering and Himmler were at some of these meetings. The conspirators hoped he could kill all three. What if he was able to plant a bomb that killed Hitler, Himmler and Goering? Would the power vacuum help the coup succeed? Shirer thought the conspirators did not plan their coup well, but could the chaos caused by the three top leaders help them?
