Last anti-Hitler bomb plotter dies at 90
To be honest, I had no idea any were still alive after all these years, as I do not recall hearing about him during past commemoration events.
R.I.P. to this brave fellow.
Last Hitler bomb-plotter dies at 90
Philipp von Boeselager, the last survivor of a failed 1944 plot to assassinate Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, has died at the age of 90.
A German army officer, Boeselager said he obtained for the other plotters the explosive that was detonated under a table at Hitler's Wolf's Lair headquarters in present-day Poland on July 20, 1944.
Baron von Boeselager said he was never caught because none of the captured conspirators had revealed his name under torture.
His family, living near Frankfurt, said he died late Wednesday or early Thursday.
