The July 20, 1944 plot to kill Adolf Hitler failed by two feet and one phone call. This documentary follows Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg's briefcase bomb at the Wolf's Lair, how Operation Valkyrie was Hitler's own Reserve Army plan forged by General Olbricht, and how the 12:42 blast was deflected by an oak table leg. It traces Major Otto Remer's battalion on Wilhelmstrasse, Goebbels' 5 p.m. call that put Hitler on the line, and the collapse at the Bendlerblock that prolonged the war nine months.
