Germany to honor Hitler coup plotters

None

German leaders on Monday will honor the plotters of a celebrated army attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, 65 years after they were executed.

 

In ceremonies marking the 65th anniversary of the July 20, 1944, coup attempt, officials will lay wreaths at the Bendlerblock building, now the Defense Ministry, where Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg and three others were executed shortly after their plan to kill Hitler with a briefcase bomb failed. (AP)
