20 July 1944: Stauffenberg planted primed bomb in briefcase at Wolf's Lair conference.
He positioned it near Hitler, excused himself via call, explosion at 12:42pm.
Table leg shielded Hitler (moved briefcase); 4 dead, he survived injured.
Stauffenberg flew to Berlin assuming success, activated Valkyrie coup.
Putsch failed; arrested, executed Bendlerblock same night by firing squad.
