Operation Valkyrie
Social Studies Workshop
Teacher: Mauricio Torres
What was Operation Valkyrie?
• It was a German World War II emergency continuity of government
operations plan issued to the Territorial Reserve Army of Germany to
execute and implement in case of a general breakdown in civil order of the
nation.
• Or so did Hitler believed it to be…
Why did they create it?
• German Army (Heer) officers General
Friedrich Olbricht, Major General
Henning von Tresckow, and Colonel
Claus von Stauffenberg modified the plan
with the intention of using it to take control
of German cities, disarm the SS, and arrest
the Nazi leadership once Hitler was dead.
• There was a catch to it:
• Hitler's death (as opposed to his arrest)
was required to free German soldiers
from their oath of loyalty to him.
Tresckow
How did it work?
• In essence, the plan was to trick the Reserve
Army into the seizure and removal of the
civilian government of wartime Germany under
the false pretense that the SS had attempted a
coup d'État that included the assassination of
Adolf Hitler.
• The key requirement was that the rank-and-file
soldiers and junior officers who were supposed
to execute this plan would be motivated to do
so based upon their false belief that it was the
Nazi civilian leadership who had behaved with
disloyalty and treason against the state, and
were therefore required to be removed.
Key Elements
• Apart from Hitler, only General
Friedrich Fromm, commander of
the Reserve Army, could put
Operation Valkyrie into effect.
Therefore, Fromm had to either
be won over to the conspiracy, or
in some way neutralized for the
plan to succeed.
Fromm
Stauffenberg´s Role
• The key role was played by Colonel Claus
Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg in actual
implementation after his assassination attempt
on Hitler on July 20, 1944.
• Stauffenberg also further improved the
Valkyrie plan and made changes to address
changing situations. Stauffenberg's position as
Chief of Staff of Reserve Army gave him
access to Hitler for reports and at the same
time required his presence at headquarters for
implementation of Valkyrie.
Stauffenberg

Op Valkyrie

  • 1. Operation Valkyrie Social Studies Workshop Teacher: Mauricio Torres
  • 2. What was Operation Valkyrie? • It was a German World War II emergency continuity of government operations plan issued to the Territorial Reserve Army of Germany to execute and implement in case of a general breakdown in civil order of the nation. • Or so did Hitler believed it to be…
  • 3. Why did they create it? • German Army (Heer) officers General Friedrich Olbricht, Major General Henning von Tresckow, and Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg modified the plan with the intention of using it to take control of German cities, disarm the SS, and arrest the Nazi leadership once Hitler was dead. • There was a catch to it: • Hitler's death (as opposed to his arrest) was required to free German soldiers from their oath of loyalty to him. Tresckow
  • 4. How did it work? • In essence, the plan was to trick the Reserve Army into the seizure and removal of the civilian government of wartime Germany under the false pretense that the SS had attempted a coup d'État that included the assassination of Adolf Hitler. • The key requirement was that the rank-and-file soldiers and junior officers who were supposed to execute this plan would be motivated to do so based upon their false belief that it was the Nazi civilian leadership who had behaved with disloyalty and treason against the state, and were therefore required to be removed.
  • 5. Key Elements • Apart from Hitler, only General Friedrich Fromm, commander of the Reserve Army, could put Operation Valkyrie into effect. Therefore, Fromm had to either be won over to the conspiracy, or in some way neutralized for the plan to succeed. Fromm
  • 6. Stauffenberg´s Role • The key role was played by Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg in actual implementation after his assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944. • Stauffenberg also further improved the Valkyrie plan and made changes to address changing situations. Stauffenberg's position as Chief of Staff of Reserve Army gave him access to Hitler for reports and at the same time required his presence at headquarters for implementation of Valkyrie. Stauffenberg
