it doesn't seem like the Valkyrie plotters were trying to kill Hitler because he was murderous madman authorizing the worst imaginable atrocities... they were doing it because they didn't want their army and country destroyed. Not exactly the most noble reasons under the circumstances.

    How about a list of WWII stories which could be put into an interesting movie for our edification/entertainment ?
