An earlier end of the war in 1944
would not have saved the Jewish population of Europe.
Because already since 1941
the systematic murders of Jewish people began,
first in the Soviet occupied territories,
then successively with the progress
of the German occupation policy and occupation rule
in the further European states.
That is, in the summer of 1944, at the time of the assassination
of Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg
and his co-conspirators,
the majority of the Jewish population
of Europe had already been murdered.
The “Wehrmacht” itself had also committed the assassination
on Adolf Hitler
to end the ongoing war once and for all.
In 1944, the "Wehrmacht" had made forecasts
about the development of its own troop strength
and the military historian Rüdiger Overmans
had done the same in the 90s, meaning
decades after the end of the war,
and he came to to the conclusion
that exactly in those summer months of the year 1944
the war revealaed itself to be
rather unprofitable for the German Reich and the "Wehrmacht".
The second world war was a global conflict and therefore
the assassins could not be sure themselves
that an earlier end to the war
or the assassination of Adolf Hitler
would grant them a more favorable negotiating position.
