    Absolutely not. About half the German casualties of the war occurred after that event. And most of the bombing too. An unfathomable amount of suffering could have been prevented, if the assassination had been successful.

      Stauffenberg tried to kill Hitler because he thought Hitler wasn’t effective. The war would have absolutely continued.

        Wrong. Stauffenberg certainly wasn’t a model democrat. But he understood that the way was lost and that they had to come to some sort of resolution. Any deal Germany could have gotten would have been harsh but far better than total destruction.
