As the last surviving member of the 20 July 1944 conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler, this individual was involved in two attempts on the dictator's life. In one plot, he was tasked with ordering his troops in Eastern Europe to retreat to Berlin and seize control of crucial parts of the city.

Post-war, he pursued studies in economics and became an expert in forestry, while also maintaining an active role in Catholic student fraternities.
