Major General Henning von Tresckow was a German Military Intelligence officer and one of the major players in the German Resistance, a group opposed to the ideals and methods of Nazism and dedicated to the assassination of Adolph Hitler. After von Tresckow fails in his latest attempt to kill Hitler, he finds himself in need of a new logistics chief for the Resistance, which brings Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg to the cause. The Colonel is shocked to find the Resistance has no plans for after Hitler is assassinated and spearheads a plan known as "Operation Valkyrie." The operation ultimately fails, and von Tresckow commits suicide as his co-conspirators are arrested and executed.
