As the course of the war progresses, many of Hitler's top officials begin to have second thoughts about the whole lebensraum idea, and killing the Jews. The opposition, led by Claus von Stauffenburg, plan to assassinate Hitler, and end the war, and make peace with the Allies.

Operation Valkyrie was a failure, and Hitler survives. However, the resistance movement does not give up. Hitler orders the conspirators jailed, but the flee and set up a "Free German Government" in the city of Dusseldorf.
