Has anybody seen that?I have been trying invain for the past four years,to get the execution Photos of Mr.Stauffenberg and his accomplices including his adjutant Mr.Haeften at Bendlerblock.I remember watching a documentary on Discovery Channel sometimes back ,in which they had shown it.Afterwards I tried for it many times on net,sent a few request mails to a couple of agencies, but have not received any proper response.
Re: Have you got Mr.Stauffenberg's execution photograph?
^ Yes,they were taken...........
There have been a few photographs.First one was taken just before the execution,while he and his other mates were being taken to the outside of Bendlerblock,each one's photoghraph of being held agaionst the wall just before the execution,their bodies right after the executions,Haeften was the last person to be executed but in an act of loyalty he received bullets meant for Stauffenberg,that photo was also taken,then finally Stauffenberg before and after his execution........
(The executions were carried out in the night and inorder to get ample light. Military Truck's headlights were flashed)
Starangely,these photos have been kept away from public!!!

Okaay :@:
I am fascinated with the legends of the Japanese gold trains of Burma... apparently it's among the largest haul of missing treasure on earth. But since I am no treasure hunter this story is merely interesting to me for it is less well known and hardly anyone has gone after it... so maybe it's just a myth like El-Dorado.
Another part of World War two that is ironic is the Japanese rivival of the Sengoku style Samurai codes, irony is that the Imperial Japanese army was the force that destroyed the Samurai but by World War 2 they were reviving the spirit of thier old foes.
And from Japan to Russia Marshal Zhukov is a little known hero of World War 2, in the West he is hardly mentioned yet Zhukov was the mastermind behind Russia's mighty counterattack that swept the Germans from the eastern front, battles like Smolensk, Stalingrad and the Kursk were all conducted under the watch of Zhukov where lesser men would hace easily given up.
Zhukov even stood up to Stalin when he was ordered to defend Stalingrad to the end, Zhukov dared to play with the orders and leave only a token force to defend the city while he prepared his main army slowly for a fresh offensive.
