Very readable article about #Stauffenberg and Count von #Hardenberg on the occasion of the failed #assassination attempt on #Hitler 80 years ago today on 20 July 1944 with a lot of new information. At the same time, it also gives an outlook on German-German history after the 2nd #WorldWar.
Quotes - translated:
"A #resistance fighter and #count does not fit into this time. And so the #GDR does what it likes to do with inappropriate history: it silences it. The transfer of Hardenberg's urn to his homeland was refused. It was not until 1991 - his 100th birthday - that he was buried at the church in #Neuhardenberg."
"80 years ago, the #Resistance group around Count von Stauffenberg meets at the castle of their ally Count von Hardenberg."
"He is my role model. Especially today. We must not remain silent. He was already a warning back then."
"The memory of 20 July 1944 is also alive ... thanks to people like Uwe Rosenberg ... who continue to tell this part of German history."
