Interviews with him were shown in the BBC series The World at War (1974).

Amazing that he was released after being interrogated, while most of the other conspirators were executed.

At first I thought it was this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ludwig_Ewald_von_Kleist

And I thought: A fieldmarshall from WWII was still alive?? Turns out they are from the same family, but not so closely related. And the elder of these two died in the 1950s.

Of course, no one is suggesting that they didn’t let him do it because it might have caused a time paradox.

I wonder what it means that a number of the most active members of the anti-Hitler resistance had "von" in their names.

It appears that, besides having titles of nobility, at least these few people actually had real class.

Like the NY cop who was found guilty of “planning” to kill and eat his wife?

Dangnabit. We needed a good man like this to plot against an absolute dictator.
