About the Author Hans Bernd Gisevius (1904-1974) was one of the most active conspirators in the July 20, 1944, Plot to Kill Hitler, and later a prosecution witness at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials..
Valkyrie, an abridgment of Gisevius\'s classic insider\'s Account To the Bitter End, is an intimate memoir as riveting as it is exceptional.
One of the few survivors of the conspiracy was Hans Bernd Gisevius, who had used his positions in the Gestapo and the Abwehr (military intelligence) to further the anti-Nazi plot.
The conspirators were summarily shot or condemned in show trials and sadistically hanged.
