Winfried Heinemann is a Colonel with the German Armed Forces Centre of Military History and Social Sciences in Potsdam, Germany. He is also a professor of modern history at the Brandenburg Technical University in Cottbus (south of Berlin). He is currently working on a military history of the 20 July 1944 attempt on Hitler’s life and attempted overthrow of the Nazi regime by the German Army.
Resistance against Nazi rule is usually spoken of in terms of “Conscience in Revolt” (a book title from the 1950s). However, during the last decades, historians have asked for the political, diplomatic, social, economic etc. policies the “Other Germany” would have wanted to pursue. So far, though, no one has asked what their military plans were. How did they plan the coup d’état in Berlin? How did they want to end the fighting? What role did they foresee for a future German army? Or: what is their place in 20th century German military history?
