In his original plan he sought to surrender "conditionally" which was unacceptable to the western allies. And they failed to kill Himmler, Göring, Goebbels and the German Chief of Staffs Keitel and Jodl, this would result in a counter coup that would eliminate the Stauffenburg's government within minutes and would lead to either Himmler or Göring's ascension as thr new Führer

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

No that would of most likely happened anyway. The allies by this point already committed to unconditional surrender only, and had already agreed to partision/devide Germany at the Tehran conference. And at casbalanca the Americans announced they would not accept anything less than unconditional surrender. In otherwords the allies, well America and Russia (the British and the free french were not so committed), had already effectively committed to the Berlin Wall in 1943. This would have saved hundreds of thousands if not millions from concentration camps however. And it might have saved non-german countries from getting soviet occupation (like Poland) which might have shortened the cold War one way or another.

[@country_flyboy]

@@matthiuskoenig3378 Then again, at this point of the war, the Allies were already concerned about containing Stalin's influence and the USSR itself. Depending on how the government was operated post-Valkyrie, as well as what the terms of surrender were, it may have been good enough for the Western powers to accept over what they did with Stalin. It would allow both Britain and the US to completely focus on Japan in the Pacific, ending the war far sooner and with a far smaller Soviet Russia. If the nukes are still completed, their true capabilities may be kept secret long enough to stall Soviet nuclear development, and the USSR would not get many of the German technologies they did (mostly jet engines and rocket designs) from captured scientists and documents.

Literally. The bomb was designed for the bunker and if it weren't for the weather they really would have killed Hitler. It's crazy how close they were

[@wictoriono]

@@country_flyboy The western powers would never agree to some kind of settlement they were committed to unconditional surrender only and to all allied powers(USSR as well) It is true they were afraid of Stalin, mainly Churchill but at this point he was seen as very valuable ally. The concerns really came only in 1945. They've seen nazism as enemy number 1, not communism. The terms of some kind of potential and unprobable peace with western allies are up to debate because no one has any idea what they would look like. Either way it wouldn't have been good. USSR was throwimg men at Nazis and were pushing them back quickly. How the war Nazis v Soviets would've ended would depend on the allied help. I imagine they would stop it but either communist Europe or Nazi Europe (excluding France, Norway and the low countries which I imagine would've been freed in any kind of settlement) depending on who would win the war. But I believe that Nazi Germany was destined to lose this war completely and absolutely. Don't want to quote Hitler but he said something along the lines: "Providence has saved me to finish my doing". Yes that's true. His doing was to absolutely and completely destroy Germany to it's core.

[@Marvel66666]

Maybe Churchill Plan "Operation Unthinkable" would then really have been carried out. To attack Stalin with a rearmed Wehrmacht, British troops and US Army. Just as it was scheduled for 1 July 1945. The first attempt of a kind of NATO with 47 divisions of the Western Allies. This was also General Pattons plan. But it was too late and risky. After spying information, in 1944, Stalin serious thought to marching on with Its Army as far as France and Italy after a victory over Germany and at the same time conquering norway and denmark in order to secure the Baltic Sea. When it was too late for "Operation Unthinkable", they prepared for a defense of Great Britian against the Soviet Union.

Lol what? The only difference would have been a slightly less insane regime in Germany and the war might have ended about a month sooner. The Valkyrie plotters wanted a negotiated peace with the Western Allies that would have recognized their conquests of Czechoslovakia and Poland in exchange for withdrawal from occupied Western Europe. The Allies would never have accepted this, seeing as how President Roosevelt said that he would accept nothing less than the complete and unconditional surrender of all Axis forces. Even if the plot had succeeded and the plotters made their peace with the western Allies, they still would have been steamrolled by the Soviets within a year. If anything, communism would have been stronger, as the Iron Curtain would have been laid in the Alps rather than the Carpathians.

This movie would've been so much better if they actually spoke German and had subtitles. Or at the very least, German accents, not British and American.

[@Spanish_Patriot]

I agree. I've seen it dubbed into Spanish, so I didn't have this problem. But it would have been great if they spoke German.

[@BlauerBooo]

Probably possible to purchase the German DVD version with several languages' subtitles. Okay, English rather than spanish... anyway ;) Have a try.

[@MrConstantine02]

Making the movie with English-American actors speaking English with a German accent would make even less sense than they speaking just regular English. "English with a German accent" gives off the idea that these are all Germans that are speaking accented English to each other for some reason, which makes no sense. With them speaking regular English, you get the feeling that they are all speaking the same language (in this case, German) to each other, and we can understand them because the fourth wall acts as a 'translator' of sorts.

[@keinwortphrase]

MrConstantine02 The German actors (Schweighoefer) speaking even German words/names with American accents is a bit bizarre though.

[@cat-lw6kq]

I disagree, most of us realize we are watching a film and to make it easier for us to understand and follow the dialog the Germans speak English

[@TheStarcraftJACKAL]

It bothers me just a bit, but Inglourious Basterds - an alternative history/fictional movie - has actors speaking actual German, French, Italian, while Valkyrie, a historical movie, has German characters speaking English.

[@tangocharliedd-2146]

[@colonelmomo666]

It's all about the context of the movie. At the beginning of Valkyrie, the narration starts off in German and switches to English, leading the viewers to apply their suspension of disbelief and assume that we all suddenly know how to speak German and it simply translates to us in English. Everyone speaks in English but we are supposed to believe it's German. In Inglorious Basterds on the other hand, language and accents have a key role to play in the story. You've got French, German, British, American characters, all talking to each other, there's supposed to be a difference between all of them and the way they speak so it wouldn't make any sense for them to all speak the same language. The funny thing is, it's a nighmare when these movies are being dubbed.

@@mode1557 oh I have no doubt some of the officers and conspirators in the 20 July Plot weren’t angels, and may have still held Nazi sympathies, however their victory could’ve opened an armistice between Germany and the Allies. They’d need to cooperate with the Allies if they intend to keep Germany whole, and I have no doubt they’d go to any measure to keep Germany from being broken apart. Their actions with Operation Valkyrie prove that much.
