The conspirators of 20 July 1944, Stauffenberg (played by Tom Cruise) and others from the Wehrmacht's General Staff amongst them, tried to modify the plan according to their needs so that they would be able to quickly disarm SS troops, arrest the leading Nazis, and take over control of German cities.

In "Valkyrie," Tom Cruise plays Claus von Stauffenberg, a battle-scarred corporal in the German army, who helps to spearhead the conspiracy to bring Hitler's worldwide reign of terror to an abortive end.
