It would be interesting to speculate what would have happened had Operation Valkyrie succeeded.

From what I’ve read, the plotters were almost as delusional as Hitler was. Most of them wanted to make peace with the western allies but continue the war with the Soviets.
And get this. They also wanted Germany to keep all the land Hitler had conquered in the east (Czechoslovakia, Poland, etc.). FDR and Churchill never, ever would have agreed to those conditions.
If it had succeeded, I think the German officers and politicians who were involved planned to sue for peace immediately.
