Valkyrie

"Valkyries are the handmaidens of heaven who choose the righteous and take them back to heaven." This is what Hitler tells his future assassin Count von Strassenborg. The Count has realized that he can only serve Hitler or Germany, not both. After he is wounded in Tunisia, he returns to Berlin and joins fellow conspirators. The date of the assassination attempt is set for July 20, 1944. In a state of panic and confusion, Strassenborg hopes to dismantle the SS and install a government that will end the war. Suspense, action, and a thriller that should be watched by all. In an unexpected twist, Strassenborg convinces the world that not all Germans were as mad as Hitler.
