http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendlerblock
Bendlerblock was the focus of military resistance to the Nazi regime. It was here that the "Valkyrie" operation plan was made: A plan for a coup d'état against Hitler. In October 1943, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was transferred to the General Army Office as Chief of Staff. His position gave him direct access to situation briefings in Hitler's eastern headquarters, the "Wolf's Lair" in East Prussia. On July 20, 1944, he set the fuse of a bomb there and returned to Berlin.
The bomb went off, but Hitler survived. When news of Hitler's survival spread, the conspirators were unable to take control of Germany. Following the arrest of the conspirators in the Bendlerblock, General Olbricht, Colonel von Stauffenberg, Werner von Haeften, and Albrecht Ritter Mertz von Quirnheim, all members of the uprising, were executed by firing squad that same night in this courtyard
