Who was Claus von Stauffenberg? Scion of a great family, poet, cellist, soldier, husband, father – and the man who sought to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
In this episode we trace Claus’s family background, his upbringing, and major influences in his early life – so different from what we might expect from a would-be revolutionary.
He was a child during the First World War, and at the end of that war saw revolutionary action and other turmoil first hand. Claus and his brothers became close associates of the poet Stefan George. Claus considered several different careers, but in 1926 joined the German army, where he rapidly achieved distinction. In 1931, as the Nazis were beginning to find prominence in Germany, he married Nina.
