Germany is marking the 75th anniversary of the most famous plot to kill Adolf Hitler, honoring those who resisted the Nazis — who were stigmatized for decades as traitors — as pillars of the country’s modern democracy amid growing concerns about the resurgence of the far right.
“Those who acted on July 20 are an example to us, because they showed that they followed their conscience and set their stamp on a part of German history that otherwise was defined by the darkness of Nazism,” Merkel said last week in her weekly video message. Helmuth James von Moltke’s so-called Kreisau Circle started working in secret to end the dictatorship in 1940. And in 1938, carpenter Georg Elser attempted to kill Hitler and other senior Nazi leaders at an event in Munich, but was thwarted as the Nazi leader unexpectedly left the room minutes before a bomb exploded. He too was executed.

‘Now I Understand How Nazi Germany Happened,’ Says Astonished Man Finally Playing ‘Wolfenstein 3D’TRENTON, NJ—Shaking his head in dismay as he realized how quickly the slide into authoritarianism might occur, astonished man Dennis Burton told reporters Friday that he finally understood how Nazi Germany could happen after playing Wolfenstein 3D. “I always told myself that this was the sort of thing that could never happen here, but now that I’ve seen what happened to B.J. Blazkowicz, it’s clear that I was dead wrong,” said the visibly emotional Burton, expressing shame at his former naivety while traveling down a gray corridor, pausing to marvel at the disturbing scale of Third Reich paraphernalia covering Castle Wolfenstein’s walls before gunning down an Übermutant. “The idea of watching Nazi super-soldiers goose-stepping together through a pixellated hallway used to seem like science fiction. But witnessing them marching before my very eyes made me realize: My God, the horrifying world of Robo-Hitler isn’t as far off as we might like to tell ourselves.” At press time, Burton was vowing to never again forget the lessons he had learned while thwarting Operation Eisenfaust.
