Tunisian front, North Africa

Valkyrie — Tunisia

Scene

Opening scene — Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is severely wounded by an Allied air attack in Tunisia, losing his left eye, right hand, and two fingers of his left hand.

History

Stauffenberg was wounded in April 1943 near Sfax, Tunisia, during the collapse of the Afrika Korps. His injuries — which left him with only three fingers on his left hand — paradoxically enabled the July 20 plot: he was the only conspirator with sufficient rank and access to plant the bomb himself.
