who were stigmatized for decades as traitors

Hah? By the end of the war Hitler was roundly reviled by most of Germany. If these conspirators were considered traitors for trying to assassinate the paper-hanging corporal it was by a decided minority.

It wasn’t only the conspirators - their families were also treated as traitors.

My father-in-law became a judge in Berlin after WWII and was able to restore von Stauffenberg’s widow’s pension for her husband’s service. It wasn’t popular.
