Once a Lord Mayor of Leipzig, he has gone into the records as a man of the anti-Nazi German Resistance. He was tried and eventually executed, as one of the conspirators in the 1944 Bomb Plot. What is little known is that before the war he journeyed to Britain to plead for British help for the dissident generals, insisting that a firm British stand could prevent the war.

A.P. Young, Frank Ashton-Gwatkin, Robert J. Stopford and Lord Ritchie-Calder were all involved personally, and with his daughter, Dr Meyer-Krahmer, they tell how one man tried to change history.
