On July 20, 1944, a bomb exploded at Hitler's headquarters in East Prussia. Several people were killed on the spot; Hitler received burns, his arm was temporarily paralyzed, and his eardrums burst. The explosion in the “lair of the wolf” (as the Fuhrer’s headquarters was officially called), like a bright flash, illuminated the true situation in the Nazi Reich - the squabble in the ruling camp of Germany, the deep crisis of its elite, the struggle of some circles of the German bourgeoisie to overthrow the Hitler government. The dramatic events at Hitler's headquarters attracted the attention of historians, publicists and writers in many countries. Books about conspiracy published abroad could fill an entire library. In Soviet historical literature, D.E. Melnikov’s book was the first work devoted to the entire complex of problems of the July 20, 1944 conspiracy. The author reveals them against the background of the defeats of fascist troops on the Soviet-German front and the general struggle of German anti-fascists led by the Communist Party against the Hitler regime . The author describes the plans, views and actions of the main leaders of the conspiracy on July 20, 1944, observing a strictly differentiated approach to them; paints portraits of progressive-minded conspiracy figures, fighters against Hitler's rule - Stauffenberg, York von Wartenburg and others.
