Valkyrie Page #4

I don't have a choice, it's clear now.

Without you, there is no hope of success.

You're nothing but rats,

jumping from a sinking ship.

What makes you think you'll be any different?

What makes you think

you're stronger than the people?

The Reich, the very momentum of history?

- This is going to happen, action is inevitable

As are the consequences.

When they come for me I'll do everything I can to hide what you are doing, but don't delude yourself

You were involved in a crime against your country long before you met me.

And there may still be time to redeem yourself.

Only God can judge us now.

Hitler had operation Valkyrie designed

to completely secure his government in six hours.

I'm rewriting the orders so we can seize control of the government in three.

As written the orders spreads reserve troops across all of Germany's 19 military districts.

Including occupied cities like Paris, Vienna and Prague.

This is a waste of resources since all of these districts

Follow orders from Berlin without question.

If you take Berlin you take Germany.

I'm rewriting Valkyrie to direct the majority of our strongest units to focus entirely on Berlin.

We'll surround the government quarter, occupy all

S.S. and police barracks.

Once we have control of the government

we'll shut down all concentration camps.

Any officers who resist will be arrested.

I've been transferred to the front.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

You know these orders better than anyone.

That's why I am putting you in charge of the military wing of the operation.

Beck agrees.

- Why not Olbricht?

No, it is your plan.

It's you.

You need to be absolutely certain no conflicting

order get out after the flash.

It is not enough to kill Hitler.

You need to isolate his chain of command

and cut them off from the outside world immediately.

I already considered that.

- I think I have just the man who can help.

- Who is he?

Perhaps it's better I don't say.

God promised Abraham he would not destroy Sodom

If he could find ten righteous men.

I have a feeling that, for Germany, it may come down to one.

Let's begin.

The Fhrer, Adolf Hitler,

Is dead.

Heil Hiltler, General.

Would you excuse us?

You play the part of bureaucrat beautifully.

- I see it's my turn to relax.

You've been promoted chief of staff for the reserve army.

Excuse me?

- Congratulations.

I am busy with other things.

Unfortunately, your nocturnal activities don't count as service to the 'Reich'.

I'll refuse the promotion.

- You'll do no such thing.

Tresckow may have left you in charge of the operation

but in this world I still outrank you.

You will accept the promotion.
