Late Night Line-Up: The Plot to Kill Hitler

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Twenty-eight years ago today, on 20 July 1944, Hitler narrowly escaped death when an assassin's bomb exploded in his East Prussian headquarters. The so-called 'Generals' Plot' to overthrow the Fuhrer was a total failure.
Who were the men behind the plot? What were the real motives? How should one assess the resistance to Hitler? Line-Up talks to some of those involved with the plot, including Otto John, and to Albert Speer, Hitler's armaments minister.
