We watched, this evening ...

...the film Valkyrie, about the July 1944 anti-Nazi coup attempts by German officers - warmly recommended. In Berlin you can visit the place where the hero Count Stauffenberg was shot: there is now a museum and memorial there. In the 1980s one of his sons was serving as Military Attache at the (West) German Embassy here in London: after a chance meeting we had a talk and lunch...I remember his description of the night his father was shot, his mother arrested and taken away by the Gestapo...
