I've tossed in this little qualifier since most people, if this question is posed, simply reply "Kill Hitler!" But the situation was actually more complicated than that. Even after that bomb had(unfortunately)not killed Hitler, Stauffenberg & company still had many advantages. Hitler was not @ Berlin, but far off in East Prussia with all of the members of his government(with the crucial exception of Goebbels). Meanwhile, the very commander of the key Berlin garrison was one of the conspirators. Thus it should have been an easy matter for Stauffenberg to seize the capital & over-
throw Hitler. The plot- even despite having failed to kill Hitler- thus not only could have succeeded-
it SHOULD have. But it failed. So again- what would you, my fellow posters, cause to happen diff-
erently so Hitler, despite being spared, is toppled by Stauffenberg & company?
