   I wouldn’t say that the plot to kill Hitler is little known outside Germany (okay, I listened to this on Thursday and am not sure if these were the exact words used)…

   Wolfschantze is currently in Poland, near Russia… and it’s quite the tourist attraction, I went there in the summer and that’s the main reason I’ll watch this film… out of sheer curiosity to see how the story I heard from the tour guide gets adapted…
