The uncomfortable truth is that for Nazism’s spell over the German people to be broken, it had to run its bloody course; it had to be seen to fail – utterly, completely and catastrophically. For all its heroism, Stauffenberg’s plot risked preventing that. So, while we applaud it, we should also applaud its failure.
So it's OK that a couple if million people died because of some moral hazard argument? Yeah right.
I'm assuming you think a replacement to Hitler would have stopped the war. First, is that what you believe?
Second, would a more effective leader of Nazi Germany ultimately cause more deaths?
