Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager

    September 6, 1917 – May 1, 2008

    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. When the 20 July attempt failed, he halted his forces and returned to the front lines, remaining undetected. Post-war, he pursued studies in economics and became an expert in forestry, while also maintaining an active role in Catholic student fraternities.
