What if Operation Valkyrie was a success?
Here I would not write operation "Valkyrie" itself. I would think about what kind of influence that attentate was and what could happen if the "Valkyrie-plan" what is the name of the famous attentate against Adolph Hitler would be a success. Today is 75 years from the famous 20. July 1944 attentate against Adolph Hitler. And still on the air hovers the question "what if the attentate was a success"?
Was the rule of Nazi Germany turned to the hands of Heirich Himmler or Wilhelm Keitel? Or could those men try to make peace with the Western allies? Or could the German military fight longer, if Adolph Hitler was dead? Those questions have been asked about this case, what has been filmed as "Operation Valkyrie".
Those questions are good to think even today when it takes 75 years from the case when Colonel Carl von Stauffenberg carried a bomb in the headquarters of Adolph Hitler. And here we must realize, that this attentate might be a success if that turned Hitler straight to madness, where he couldn't make decisions, and other personnel of his staff continued to follow that madman orders. That thing can cause more damages that the successful assassination could ever cause.
Romans said that the war was a too important thing, that they could leave it for soldiers alone. That means that soldiers need political control, to accomplish their mission for defending the nation.
The mental problems of Adolph Hitler caused that German military faced many casualties, and people dare not to tell that something was wrong because failure meant death. When we are thinking the position of Von Stauffenberg and military men in that time, their mission was to follow orders. And that is the thing, what we must realize when we are thinking about the motives of Stauffenberg. Maybe the death of Hitler would not change a thing in that nation.
The thing is that also modern military men must follow their rules and that thing makes persons like Hitler a little bit complicated to those people, who are working in the military forces around the world. The question is always should they follow also the orders, what are given by the madman. There are no clear answers to that kind of questions.
The thing is that the military forces must operate under political control and the main role of those organizations is to defend their homelands. And in the cases of dictators, there is a danger that the leader of the state would be replaced by another one, who continues the same policy. But this is a very interesting way of think about the plan, what could change history.
The question, what hovers in the air is would that assassination change the situation better or worse. Would the persecutions continue after the attentate? Or would the leader of the state turn to hands of people like Himmler and Kaltenbrunner, who could be even worse than Hitler himself? Here I didn't write about the operation itself, because there is so much material about that case in the net.
