Valkyrie Page #5

Synopsis: In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of The Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a near-inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of the Fuhrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe.

You'll have real access to Hitler,

his advisers, his schedule.

We need this.

I've looked through your changes to Valkyrie.

I approve.

I need you to get Hitler to sign it.

Now, there's a man here to interview as your adjudant.

He comes highly recommended.

Close the door.

Be seated.

Do you know how this world

will end, Lieutenant?

The portrait will be unhung,

and that man will be hung.

I'm engaged in high treason with all means available to me.

Can I count you in?

For anything, sir.

Anything at all.

Come.

Colonel Brandt, operations.

Colonel Stauffenberg, I'd like to review

your presentation to the Fhrer.

Strictly routine.

Sir, the contents of the Colonel's bag are for the Fhrer eyes only.

I am the Fhrer's eyes, Lieutenant.

The Colonel is a member of my staff at the War Ministry.

He doesn't answer to you.

They're waiting.

This way.

My Fhrer, may I present Colonel Stauffenberg,

our new chief of staff to the reserve army.

Heil, my Fhrer.

What an honor it is to meet an officer

who has sacrifieced so much for Germany.

And if only more of my men were like you.

Let this man stand as an example to all of you here.

He is the ideal of German officer.

My Fhrer ...

Colonel Stauffenberg was asked to come

here today to brief us on mobilizing ...

Troops of the reserve army to repell the invasion.

Invasion?

Normandy, my Fhrer.

Oh, yes.

Normandy.

That will not be necessary.

Reichsmarshall Gring assures me

that everything is completely under control.

Thank you, Colonel.

My Fhrer, if I may. I have an ammended copy

of Operation Valkyrie, for your approval.

You know your Wagner, Colonel?

The Valkyrie, handmaidens of the gods.

Choosing who will live and who will die.

Sparing the most heroic from an agonizing death.

One can not understand National-Socialism

I one does not understand Wagner.

I'm sure whatever changes you've made are for the best.

You' re dismissed.

Send your man home. And Fromm ...

Have some fresh tea brought in, will you?

I don't know what you're brewing now.

And I don't want to know.

But when the music stops, I'd be obliged

if Keitel found himself without a chair.

Any problem on earth can be solved

With the careful application of high-explosives.

The trick is not te be around when they go off.

Two 975 gram packs of plastic explosives.

Enough explosive to cripple a Panzer.

Your detonators, your fuses.

British time pencils.

This acid capsule is your tirgger.

When you're ready to arm attach the detonator

to the bottom of the time pencil.

Like s.

Insert the entire device into either end of the plastic w.

Crush the acid capsule.

And you're live.

When the acid eats through the wire holding back the firing pin, you'll want to be very far away.
