"Valkyrie" is about the struggles of real live German soldier, Colonel Von Stauffenberg, who in conjunction with his peers, plotted the assassination of dictator and mass murderer, Adolph Hitler. The film is named after a nation plan "Operation Valkyrie" Germany had to take control of its nation.

Scientology mad Tom Cruise playing the lead in this film, held it back to some degree and upset many, especially in Germany, who recognize the celebrity group for what it is, a crazy religious cult that has caused the deaths of many. However, the project still managed to turn in solid sales. Cruise was chosen for his resemblance to Colonel Von Stauffenberg.

People have the world view that all of Germany agreed with Hitler, but that is not so. Hitler, a man second only to Judas regarding evil in world history, contributed to the deaths of 50,000,000 people. He fooled many with his words and cost many their lives with his hatred.
