| Valkyrie | comment |
Valkyrie is a 2008 historical drama film about the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler by a dedicated cabal of German military officers, as well as some non-military personnel. It is directed by Bryan Singer, written by Christopher McQuarrie, and starring Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, Terence Stamp, Tom Wilkinson, Carice Van Houten and Matthias Schweighöfer.Part of what got interest in this film going is that popular consciousness has it that after 1933 there was no resistance within Germany to the Nazi party after the mass-arrests and exodus of the country's overt opposition to Hitler, in part because Hitler remained in power (and alive) until the Soviets took Berlin. Operation Valkyrie was actually the last of over 15 attempts (and one of the closest to being successful) on Hitler's life by various fringe factions within Germany before the end of the war. Even though the outcome of this assassination attempt is rather obvious, it serves as a reminder that the politics of Nazi Germany was far more fractious than it appears at first sight/from Middle- and High-School textbooks."Valkyrie" itself comes from the name of the prepared plan dictating the delegation of power that would transpire should Hitler die. The members of the plot had manipulated the Valkyrie protocol so that when Hitler died they would be able to unilaterally seize power with minimal infighting.Not to be confused with the mythological characters from which this movie takes its name. For a German-language film on these same events, see Operation Valkyrie. | |

Dirty Coward | |
| Valkyrie / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Friedrich Fromm makes it plain from the off he won't support them while Hitler is alive, quickly abandons and tries to arrest them when it becomes apparent Hitler is still alive and then, in an ultimately futile bid to save his own skin, has the conspirators hastily court-martialled and shot, contravening direct orders from Hitler that they be taken alive. Stauffenberg considers Goerdeler this because of his reluctance to kill Hitler in favor of a political solution to remove him. While Stauffenberg tries to recruit Fellgiebel into the conspiracy, he angrily accuses the conspirators of being this in a bid to save their own skins now that the war is clearly a lost cause. His own remarks about the pointlessness of trying it could also paint him in this trope. | |

Historical Villain Downgrade | |
| Valkyrie / int_18baa751 | comment |
Historical Villain Downgrade: Otto Remer, the commander of the Reserve battalion, is portrayed as a Punch-Clock Villain who follows orders and switches sides without showing any evident sympathy towards either side. In reality, Remer was a fanatical Nazi who later founded the Socialist Reich Party in postwar West Germany, an openly fascist group that was later outlawed by the government. He also became an early proponent of Holocaust denial, funded neo-Nazi groups and was arrested as late as 1992 for incitement of racial hatred. On the DVD commentary, Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie admit that they downplayed Remer's personal fascism, partly to make him a more compelling character and partly to enhance the film's suspense (as there'd be little doubt which side he'd ultimately take if he was a Hitler loyalist from the start). | |

Punch-Clock Villain: Major Remer, who carries out Operation Valkyrie and is manipulated by both sides. In the very end, he arrests Stauffenberg without any enthusiasm at all (in fact the real Remer was an enthusiastic Nazi who went on to found pro-Nazi parties in West Germany and advocate Holocaust denial). Stauffenberg used to be this before joining the German resistance. | |

Headbutting Heroes | |
| Valkyrie / int_25dffed2 | comment |
Headbutting Heroes: Stauffenberg and Goerdeler do not get along. They were also like this in real life, Goerdeler distrusting Stauffenberg due to his socialist connections, and Stauffenberg considering Goerderler to be an out-of-touch reactionary. They also had radically different political views (Stauffenberg was a republican and Goerdeler wanted to restore the Kaiser) and different approaches to the coup (Stauffenberg wanted Hitler dead, Goerdeler wanted him captured and tried.) Their disagreement is believed by some — and implied by the film — to have been part of the reason why the coup failed, as Goerdeler's reluctance and their mutual distrust slowed things down considerably. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: In the plot of this film, the bad guys do win. Hitler survives, the German resistance is destroyed, and the war continues. In the longer run the Nazis lost of course, leaving the conspirators' deaths to not completely be in vain, in showing the world there were some junior military officers (the conspiracy was also known as the 'Colonels Plot', since none of them had the rank of General and each commanded 1,000 men or fewer) and low-level politicians willing to risk everything to stop Hitler. | |

Adapted Out | |
| Valkyrie / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: There are several examples of this: Tresckow is depicted being the one who smuggled a bomb onto Hitler's plane and then recovered it after realizing it didn't go off. While Tresckow was involved in this particular plot, Fabian von Schlabrendorff was the one who actually did these actions. The Kreisau Circle, another anti-Hitler group (albeit not in open resistance, but planning for a post-Hitler government) was not included in the film despite having connections to the progress of the titular operation in Berlin. Several important co-conspirators are omitted from the film with their roles given to the main cast. Fritz Thiele (Fellgiebel's chief of staff), Erich Hoepner (who replaced Fromm after the plotters arrested him), Paul von Hase (who gave Remer the order to arrest Goebbels), Ulrich von Hassell (liaison between the resistance and the Kreisau circle), Hellmuth Stieff (chief of army organization) and Philipp von Boeselager (who provided the bombs) all do not appear in the film. As the film focuses on the operation in Berlin, the plotters present in France do not appear. This includes Caesar von Hofacker (a cousin of Stauffenberg), Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel (military governor of France), Hans Speidel (Erwin Rommel's chief of staff) and Eberhard Finckh (chief quartermaster of the Paris military administration). Erwin Rommel himself isn't mentioned either, even though he is believed to have been approached by the plotters and was forced to commit suicide afterwards. In fairness, at the time the plot took place, he was recovering after being injured in an air strike. Several of these figures including Stauffenberg's brother Berthold and the aforementioned Hase were in early drafts of the script but were cut. | |

Batman Gambit: The conspirators took a big risk assuming The Fuehrer wouldn't take a close look at the Valkyrie Order revision before signing it. Typically for him, and fortunately for them, he doesn't. It's inferred that they deliberately gave the order the name "Valkyrie" because a Wagner fan like Hitler would focus on the mythology and skip over the details. | |

Face Death with Dignity | |
| Valkyrie / int_396e1c2a | comment |
Colonel von Stauffenberg's supremely badass exit from the mortal realm was actually toned down from the truth, calmly awaiting his execution and uttering his defiant last words (sources dispute whether he said "Long live the sacred Germany!" or "Long live the secret Germany".) The film omits the fact that he refused an offer of morphine because he was afraid of getting addicted, because the filmmakers didn't want to make it look like they were trying to turn Stauffenberg into a Hollywood action hero (although he pretty much was one). | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Valkyrie / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: The plotters get this in the film. There's no doubt that the plotters were not Nazis, but it's important to remember that the conspiracy was a circle of men with widely disparate interests who were simply unified by their opposition to Hitler. Their motives were unclear and varied from person to person, but for the most part, while almost all of them were horrified by the Holocaust, many were less concerned with ending Hitler's regime than they were with saving Germany from Hitler's ineptitude. They also varied in what they planned to do next, from reactionaries like Goerdeler who wanted to restore a pre-WWI Germany, to democrats like Stauffenberg who were still motivated by racism to keep Germany's wartime holdings, and those such as Tresckow who were primarily motivated by guilt and didn't care about what happened next as long as they did something. The complexity of the plotters' motivation is ignored in the film, both for narrative convenience and to keep the focus on the plot itself. The film leaves out Goerdeler selling out the conspirators who were not initially caught to the Gestapo in a (failed) bid for clemency, which led to the executions of hundreds of anti-Hitler partisans. Made even worse by the fact that he was responsible for convincing a great number of them to join the resistance in the first place. To be fair to him, the confessions were elicited by a prolonged, intense bout of psychological torture, and may have been motivated by a misguided belief that the Gestapo would not have enough time to act on the information before Berlin was captured. Wolf-Heinrich Graf von Helldorff, Berlin's Chief of Police. Although a minor character, he's portrayed heroically for siding with Stauffenberg and receives a postscript notifying viewers about his fate alongside the other, more prominent conspirators. Unmentioned in the film is that von Helldorff was a member of the Nazi Party who was close friends with Joseph Goebbels, and had earlier masterminded round-ups and pogroms of Jews in Berlin, including a key role in organizing Kristallnacht in 1938. In fairness, Helldorf had turned against Hitler and contacted the Resistance by 1944, although his motives remain unclear. In any case, von Helldorff was ultimately executed for his alleged involvement. | |

Fat Bastard: Hermann Göring, whose small appearance consists of lounging around a lunch table like a fat pig. Which actually sums up his role in World War II quite nicely. While Stauffenberg and Fromm are explaining to Hitler the necessity of updating Operation Valkyrie in the wake of the Normandy landings, Hitler tells him Goering has assured him the Luftwaffe can handle them. Goering smirks complacently, while Goebbels, who has a more realistic view, gives a sour look. | |

Affably Evil: Adolf Hitler.

This is particularly noteworthy because every other member of the Nazi high command that is shown is extremely unpleasant. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Valkyrie / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Numerous. Henning von Tresckow was still a colonel at the time of the failed plan to blow up Hitler's airplane. Tresckow's bomb was depicted as hidden inside a single bottle of Cointreau (orange liqueur). In reality, there were two bottles of cognac that contained bombs. In the morning whilst shaving, Stauffenberg deliberately cuts himself with the blade; it's an excuse to "change his clothes" in the base (in reality a chance to arm the explosives), because the film couldn't portray him sweating. One of the most glaring violations is during the lead-up to the assassination attempt: Major Freyend diverts Stauffenberg from the bunker with the excuse that it's too hot — true to life, it was indeed a sweltering mid-July day, but nobody was going into the bunker since it was undergoing structural reinforcement carried out by slave workers. For the sake of differentiation, Stauffenberg had performed a dry run in there on the 15th. Berlin also seems to look remarkably pristine, despite the fact that it had been subjected to countless Allied air raids before the plot was even put into motion. The plot did not come as close to success as the movie suggests. It was probably doomed to failure after Hitler survived the bomb. Certainly the failure to arrest any of the key Nazis in Berlin or seize communications robbed the plotters of any chance of success. At the beginning of the film, Hitler flies to the Eastern Front in a Junkers Ju 52. However, his personal plane at the time was a Focke-Wulf Fw 200 (none of which survived the war, save one wreck that was eventually turned into a museum exhibit). Speaking of the Ju 52, Stauffenberg actually flew back to Berlin in a Heinkel He 111. General Ludwig Beck is depicted wearing civilian clothes during the coup. He was actually wearing his uniform. Goebbels indeed prepared a cyanide pill in case Remer arrested him. However, it was in his pocket instead of his mouth. Controversially, the film downplays Claus von Stauffenberg's anti-Semitic and nationalistic views, depicting him as a relatively apolitical German patriot who wanted to save Germany from Hitler. While he was not a member of the Nazi party and was disgusted by the Holocaust, he was still a committed German nationalist but felt (quite rightly) that Hitler was going too far and was militarily incompetent. | |

Eventually averted with Roland Freisler, who died in his own courtroom during an Allied bombing raid when he went back to retrieve some documents on the defendant whose trial was being held there, and was either blown up by the explosion or crushed when the ceiling collapsed on him. He was the only fatality of the bombing raid, and when Freisler's body was brought to the hospital, a worker gave the supremely badass observation, "God has delivered His verdict." | |

The real-life plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler is disguised as a mobilization order named "Valkyrie" to take over the German government after Hitler's death, which he himself has to sign off on. Stauffenberg presents the plan in person, and Hitler glances cursorily at the pages without a proper reading. He refers to Wagner and speaks of the Valkyries' nature, and signs off on the plan simply because the name pleased him. | |

Spanner in the Works | |
| Valkyrie / int_60194b82 | comment |
Spanner in the Works: The assassination attempt is defeated by the weather: it's too hot so Hitler moves the briefing out of the Führerbunker, where the concrete surrounds would have amplified the explosion's pressure wave, and into a more open-plan outbuilding where the windows and weaker walls absorb some of the energy. Colonel Heinz Brandt also moves the briefcase containing the bomb to the other side of a table leg, creating an additional barrier between the blast and Hitler, but ironically causing his own death. Von Tresckow's initial attempt on Hitler's life fails when his time bomb is taken on a plane and ices up due to the altitude. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Valkyrie / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Ludwig Beck, when captured, asks for a pistol. As he was a civilian and not active military at that point, he was actually placed under arrest rather than immediately sentenced to death by court martial, but he was well aware that he would have been put in front of the Volksgerichtshof and put to death in perhaps a week anyway. In Real Life, he shot himself in the head twice and still didn't die. The guard had to finish him off. Henning von Tresckow, who holds a grenade underneath his chin. Truth in Television because he really did do this (after firing pistols into the air to give the appearance of being shot at by partisans) in order to make it look like he had been killed in the war, to save his family the shame of watching his execution. Joseph Goebbels was prepared with a cyanide capsule... just in case Major Remer decided to proceed with the coup and arrest him anyway. | |

All Germans Are Nazis: Stauffenberg and his companions subvert this. They're just Wehrmacht officers and as a matter of fact, although some of them had been involved in war crimes, most of them were also known for their participation in the German resistance against the Nazi regime and for saving Jews and other minorities from concentration camps and/or mass executions. Henning von Tresckow's words — "We have to show the world that not all of us are like him." — says it all. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Valkyrie / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: The July plotters actually make two attempts to kill Hitler before initiating 'Operation Valkyrie' (some of them, such as Tresckow, had made attempts even before the plan took its current form). The first time, the Reserve Army has already been mobilized and Stauffenberg is at the Wolf's Lair with the bombs and calling for confirmation, but the civilian leaders of the conspiracy are hesitant to go for it without Himmler at the meeting. They finally proceed on the second attempt two weeks later (where Himmler isn't present either), but the meeting between Hitler and his officers has been moved to a cabin outside the bunker.note This, in addition to the bomb being moved behind a big wooden table leg by pure chance, significantly decreased the bomb's blast force If Goerdeler hadn't hesitated at the last second, Stauffenberg's bomb would have certainly killed Hitler. Finally, just putting the second, unarmed, bomb in the suitcase, would've most likely caused it to detonate alongside the other. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
| Valkyrie / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: The shootout at the end seems thrown in just for dramatic purposes... but that really did happen. Colonel von Stauffenberg's supremely badass exit from the mortal realm was actually toned down from the truth, calmly awaiting his execution and uttering his defiant last words (sources dispute whether he said "Long live the sacred Germany!" or "Long live the secret Germany".) The film omits the fact that he refused an offer of morphine because he was afraid of getting addicted, because the filmmakers didn't want to make it look like they were trying to turn Stauffenberg into a Hollywood action hero (although he pretty much was one). Ludwig Beck's death was much more painful than the film portrays it, in real life he shot himself in the head twice and still had to be finished off by a guard. Roland Freisler, the judge at the conspirators' trial, was also actually toned down for the film: in real life, he was a screaming, ranting lunatic known for bellowing at the defendants at the top of his lungs, and had the conspirators' belts taken away so they would be forced to hold their pants up and he could make crude jokes at their expense. And yes, he really did wear a blood red judge's robe. It also does not mention his supremely ironic death, when he was blown up in his own courtroom during the trial of another anti-Nazi resistance member. | |

Ambition Is Evil: Invoked in reference to Fromm, though in this case, it's more "Ambition makes you pliable". Given that Fromm is the only person who can officially initiate Valkyrie, Beck asks if he can be brought to their side. Tresckow and Olbricht note that Fromm is a "careerist pig" and has never hidden his displeasure at the fact he's gone as far as he can under the Nazis. Beck tells them to offer him a key position in the new regime in exchange for his support. Ironically, it's the fact that his ambition comes a distant second to his cowardice that keeps Fromm out of the conspiracy. | |

Nothing of the sort happened to Judge Freisler, whom the comment was directed at. In fact, he died during the American bombing of Berlin while conducting the trial of Fabian von Schlabrendorff — a bomb fell through the open roof in the middle of the trial and blew him up. A worker in the hospital when the body was brought in commented "It was God's verdict." Even more awesome (and hilarious) was that not a single person present responded negatively to this comment. | |

Rule of Drama | |
| Valkyrie / int_a5f0752f | comment |
The plotters get this in the film. There's no doubt that the plotters were not Nazis, but it's important to remember that the conspiracy was a circle of men with widely disparate interests who were simply unified by their opposition to Hitler. Their motives were unclear and varied from person to person, but for the most part, while almost all of them were horrified by the Holocaust, many were less concerned with ending Hitler's regime than they were with saving Germany from Hitler's ineptitude. They also varied in what they planned to do next, from reactionaries like Goerdeler who wanted to restore a pre-WWI Germany, to democrats like Stauffenberg who were still motivated by racism to keep Germany's wartime holdings, and those such as Tresckow who were primarily motivated by guilt and didn't care about what happened next as long as they did something. The complexity of the plotters' motivation is ignored in the film, both for narrative convenience and to keep the focus on the plot itself. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Valkyrie / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: While he may not have done anything overtly villainous, the fact that Major Remer was not arrested and executed is rather surprising. Granted, he was used as an unwitting dupe, but the fallout that followed was so extreme that anyone with a passing connection to the plot was brutally executed (even Erwin Rommel, was forced to kill himself, not because he was involved in the plot in any way, but just because he probably knew about it and didn't tell anybody). Otto Remer survived the war, went on to found a Nazi successor party that engaged in Holocaust denial (before West Germany banned it), aided Arab states fighting Israel, and died in 1997. Remer was likely spared because he undid the entire plot. Assuming he hadn't believed Goebbels and arrested him rather than permitting him to put him on the phone with Hitler, it might have gone very differently... Friedrich Fromm was not as lucky. Nobody bought the idea that he summarily executed the conspirators out of loyalty for even a second. Even though it could never be proved that he was in on the conspiracy, he was still charged with failing to act, with the added ignobility of being stripped of his rank and kicked out of the military, meaning he was executed as a civilian. Eventually averted with Roland Freisler, who died in his own courtroom during an Allied bombing raid when he went back to retrieve some documents on the defendant whose trial was being held there, and was either blown up by the explosion or crushed when the ceiling collapsed on him. He was the only fatality of the bombing raid, and when Freisler's body was brought to the hospital, a worker gave the supremely badass observation, "God has delivered His verdict." | |

Hanging Judge | |
| Valkyrie / int_a80ad52c | comment |
Roland Freisler, the judge at the conspirators' trial, was also actually toned down for the film: in real life, he was a screaming, ranting lunatic known for bellowing at the defendants at the top of his lungs, and had the conspirators' belts taken away so they would be forced to hold their pants up and he could make crude jokes at their expense. And yes, he really did wear a blood red judge's robe. It also does not mention his supremely ironic death, when he was blown up in his own courtroom during the trial of another anti-Nazi resistance member. | |

Leave No Witnesses: Fromm's reason to summarily execute everyone involved, in an attempt to hide his own role in the failed coup. Ultimately, it did not save him. Hitler had ordered the conspirators to be captured alive so they could be interrogated, which Reimer specifically brought up to Fromm only to be ignored. It was just too blatant a cover-up. | |

Dramatic Irony: During Stauffenberg's visit to Hitler's Berghof residence in Bavaria, Hitler praises Stauffenberg for his sacrifices as a soldier and wishes that more of his men were like him. If only there were! At this time, Stauffenberg is planning an assassination of Hitler and a coup d'etat against his regime for its excesses. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Valkyrie / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Von Tresckow, when Colonel Brandt suggests they take a drink from the Cointreau bottle (which is false and contains the bomb). Especially after Brandt gave a spiel with vague references to traitors. Tresckow smoothly talks his way out of it. Beck, Goerdeler and Witzleben exchange a look that screams this when Olbricht points out any changes they make to Valkyrie to suit their needs will require Hitler's approval. Fromm, when he realizes Olbricht and Stauffenberg are there to recruit him for the resistance, in his office in the middle of the day, surrounded by countless soldiers and other officers loyal to the Nazi Party. Fromm gets another one when the plot starts. He calls Wolfsschanze and speaks to Keitel, who informs him of the failed assassination attempt. Then, Keitel asks where Stauffenberg is, making Fromm realize that the plot is already traced to his office. Major Remer when he realizes who's at the other end of the phone line. Stauffenberg, when he learns, after arming a single pack of Plastic W, that the meeting is taking place in the open conference hut instead of the enclosed bunker. Stauffenberg when he lands in Berlin and finds out the coup has not started. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Valkyrie / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: When Operation Valkyrie is initiated by Olbricht. The plan was to assassinate Hitler and then declare a state of emergency-the Wehrmacht would arrest the entire SS, Gestapo, and Nazi Party leadership. A military junta would take control, officially to safeguard Hitler's legacy but in reality to end the war against the British and Americans. The Hope Spot is where this succeeds, and the German army seizes control; simultaneously a CMOA. It lasts until Hitler reveals himself to be alive. | |

Stupid Neutral | |
| Valkyrie / int_c8c8f92b | comment |
Stupid Neutral: Fromm refuses to either join or inform on the conspiracy until it is too late. As a result, at the critical moment, he is arrested by the conspirators, but is still executed once the coup is put down because he knew about it and didn't tell anybody. By sitting the fence, all he did was ensure that he was on the wrong side of whomever came out successful. The communications office narrowly avoids this when the junior officer points out how ridiculous it is to try to remain neutral during an obvious attempt at a coup. | |

Co-Dragons: Hitler has a whole collection of these. The ones we see in the film are Himmler, Goebbels, Goering, Keitel, and Speer. Himmler is regarded as the biggest threat out of all of them by the Valkyrie conspirators, who expect him to immediately seize power in the event of Hitler's death, effectively replacing "a madman with a lunatic". | |

Just a Stupid Accent | |
| Valkyrie / int_db1ab4b1 | comment |
Just a Stupid Accent: A notable aversion in that the majority of the cast does not speak English with a German accent to represent speaking German. All actors use their natural accents with the exception of British actor David Bamber, who plays Hitler with a German accent, as the filmmakers believed the audience would find it distracting if Hitler spoke in anything other than a German accent. | |

Historical Downgrade | |
| Valkyrie / int_dc7c48c6 | comment |
Historical Downgrade: In real life, Carl Goerdeler was the central figure of the German resistance to Hitler. The movie downplays his role in favor of emphasizing Colonel Stauffenberg's. Friedrich Fromm actually did support the conspiracy at first, only to back out of it at the last second after the initial failed assassination attempt. In the film, Fromm is opposed to the conspiracy from the start, only keeping silent about it on the off chance that it succeeds and he can reap the benefits. | |

Translation Convention | |
| Valkyrie / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: After an opening transition, everybody speaks perfect English. The written documents are still in German, and during the coup the reserve army troops issue orders in their native tongue. Just a Stupid Accent is mostly averted as Singer felt it wouldn't allow the actors to perform naturally, so the only German-accented characters are the ones actually played by German actors, with the notable exception of Hitler himself. | |

Master Race: To be expected in a film regarding the Nazis. The best example is in the lead up to the actual bomb attempt, when Stauffenberg overhears Keitel tell a junior officer the strategy meeting has been moved forward by an hour because Mussolini is arriving later that day and Hitler wants to have lunch with him. When Stauffenberg asks if Mussolini will be joining them for the briefing, Keitel replies that he wishes so, if only so some officer might do them all a favor and "take the opportunity to shoot that dago bastard!" | |
