]]> Comment on Valkyrie — “For Germany, It May Come Down To One…” by Colin Fraser http://www.johncalvinyoung.com/2009/02/valkyrie-for-germany-it-may-come-down-to-one/comment-page-1/#comment-24 Colin Fraser Sat, 21 Feb 2009 16:36:19 +0000 http://www.johncalvinyoung.com/?p=110#comment-24 I agree with your review. Treskow's comment was a paraphrase of his real quote recorded minutes priro to his suicide to avoid comprmising his friends. Its one of my favourites - "Now they will all fall upon us and cover us with abuse. But I am convinced now as much as ever, that we have done the right thing. I believe Hitler to be the archenemy, not only of Germany, but of the entire world. In a few hours' time, I shall stand before God and answer for both my actions and the things I neglected to do. I think I can with a clear conscience stand by all I have done in the battle against Hitler. Just as God once promised Abraham that He would spare Sodom if only ten just men could be found in the city, I also have reason to hope that, for our sake, he will not destroy Germany. No one among us can complain about his death, for whoever joined our ranks put on the shirt of Nessus. A man's moral worth is established only at the point where he is ready to give up his life in defense of his convictions." - Henning von Tresckow Inspiring stuff indeed!
