„Die Bevölkerung ist ein unglaublicher Pöbel, sehr viele Juden, sehr viel Mischvolk. Ein Volk, welches sich nur unter der Knute wohlfühlt.“
Die „Verschwörer des 20. Juli“ waren verbittert über den Dilettantismus Hitlers, enttäuscht vom Kriegsverlauf und der sich abzeichnenden Niederlage. Jene, denen die @Bundesregierung heute wieder gedenken wird, haben sich nie an der „Endlösung der Judenfrage“ gestört. Deshalb: #ElserStattStauffenberg.
