Why Hitler's Own Generals Failed to Remove Him
German Officer's Account of Resistance Development Against Hitler
Understand the complex evolution of the German military resistance leading up to the July 20th plot, and the political factors that initially strengthened Hitler's support.
Short Summary
- Resistance against Hitler was a slow, segmented development, long stalled by early national successes.
- The only feasible force for a coup was the German Army, as civilian opposition was too vulnerable.
- The speaker provided critical front-line intelligence to key resistance leaders by leveraging his High Command access.
- Survival after the failed plot depended on strategic lying, high-level advocacy, and not being deemed a principal player.
- Initial post-1933 support stemmed from economic recovery and reversal of Treaty of Versailles terms, separate from ideological alignment.
This summary reveals Admiral Graf von Kielmansegg's perspective on the challenges facing the internal opposition movement against Hitler, detailing the secrecy required and why overt action was stalled until wartime circumstances changed. This analysis contrasts the initial popularity stemming from national restoration versus the eventual necessity of a military overthrow.

Another extraordinary and important interview. I think we all need to hear this one.
Incredible testimony; thank you david!
David, It is wonderful you share these historical accounts with us. I hope you recover more with each passing day. 😊🐶
Much obliged for this revealing interview.
This is incredible to watch, tremendous job.
_"My 6-month probation was to end just after the 9th of May—so their time was up, not mine."_ LOL!
Thanks David! ❤
Reading between the lines they were all happy with him until it started going ‘wrong’
The interview brings clarity
This man saw the German Monarchy under Wilhelm II, Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, East and West Germany and saw the unification and saw Merkel first woman chancellor (2005-2021) in his lifetime. That’s crazy he saw it all in his own country
