Operation Valkyrie was an emergency continuity of Government operation plan developed in Nazi Germany for the German Reserve Army to execute and implement in case of a general breakdown in civil order of the nation.
German Army officers General Friedrich Olbricht, Major General Hening von Treskow, and Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, modified the plan with the intention of using it to take control of German cities, disarm the SS, and arrest the Nazi leadership once Hitler had been assassinated in the July 20 Plot. Hitler's death (as opposed to his arrest) was required to free German soldiers from their oath of loyalty to him. After lengthy preparation, the plot was carried out in 1944, but failed.
WI Conspirators arrested and deposed Hitler in 20 July 1944 instead of trying to kill him? Could the plan had worked better if they merely arrested Hitler and release false news of his death or maybe tell people that Hitler was gravely ill and a military junta assume control of government without much trouble?
