The Heretics' Hour: Traitors and Misfits - July 20th Conspirators

With Carolyn Yeager. The July 20th Conspirators

• What makes a traitor?
• Amateurs vs Professionals;
• Is there a plan;
• Of 186 active members of the July 20th plot, only one was a woman and she was the wife of a conspirator;
• Of 30 top leaders, 20 held high military rank (Colonel or above) and 10 were diplomats and Chiefs of Police;
• All were more successful at remaining undetected than they were at accomplishing their goal.
