Default Re: What's up with Tom?

This is a true story about the time 5 officers in the Third Reich tried to assassinate Hitler. Cruise plays Stauffenberger (I believe his name was) who was a high ranking officer who hated what Hitler was doing and took the initiative to try to assassinate him at his Wolf's Lair, I believe, where Hitler held a big meeting with his staff. Stauffenberger left the bomb that was hidden in a briefcase under the table where Hitler was perusing a map or papers, the bomb went off, but it did not kill him.

This is not a conspiracy plot, although Hitler at the time might have thought that himself!

I plan to go see the movie.
