Operation Valkyrie II

This short film is a cinematic interpretation of the events of July 20, 1944, when a group of German officers attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the Wolf’s Lair headquarters in East Prussia. Known as Operation Valkyrie II, the plan aimed to eliminate Hitler and initiate a military takeover of the German government. The attempt ultimately failed, and many of those involved were executed. The film focuses on a fragment of that day, presenting a contrast between ordinary life and a moment that could have changed history. We see glimpses of daily routines inside the Wolf’s Lair: Hitler spending time alone in his bunker reading reports and correspondence, walking with his dog, and meals being carefully tested before serving due to fear of poisoning. The atmosphere is heavy, and the intense summer heat is felt by everyone present. Against this background, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg arrives from Berlin, goes through the motions of an ordinary morning, attends a briefing, and places the explosive device that would fail to kill Hitler. This film is a personal artistic interpretation, not a documentary, created to explore the tension, routine, and human dimension of that historical moment.
