A further attempt followed on 20 July 1944: Claus von Stauffenberg and other conspirators, including Schlabrendorff, attempted to kill Hitler inside his Wolf’s Lair field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia, in what would become known as Operation Valkyrie. Schlabrendorff managed to retrieve the bomb the next day and elude detection. The bomb detonator failed to go off, however, most likely due of the cold in the aircraft luggage compartment. The first attempt took place on 13 March 1943: During a visit by Adolf Hitler to Army Group Center Headquarters in Smolensk, Schlabrendorff smuggled a time bomb, disguised as bottles of cognac, onto the aircraft which carried Hitler back to Germany.

Hitler overpowers the would-be assassin and sends himself to the present, leaving the killer stranded in the past.
