Lieutenant Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and his adjutant, Werner von Haeften, saw the explosion as they drove away from the Wolf’s Lair; they were sure that they had successfully killed the Führer. It was time to initiate Operation Valkyrie. As their car sped away from the compound, the smoke cleared from the room and two men emerged, leaning on one another. Their skin was blackened, hair singed, and clothing ripped to shreds. One of the men was Wilhelm Keitel, a Nazi general. The other, Adolf Hitler, the Führer himself, could be heard muttering, “What was that? I am alive, I am alive!” (The 20 July Bomb Plot).
