- Stauffenberg himself. After their first assassination attempt is aborted and General Fromm threatens the conspirators not to call up the Reserve Army a second time or he will have them arrested, he dismisses them. Unlike Olbricht, Stauffenberg leaves in silence, prompting Fromm to demand Stauffenberg say "Heil Hitler" out loud. After a short pause, Stauffenberg turns around and gives him the full Hitler salute... with his mutilated arm. All the while glaring at Fromm with a baleful look on his face.
- Stauffenberg immediately bringing his replacement into the fold for the plan to assassinate Hitler.
- The initiation of Operation Valkyrie where the Wehrmacht start arresting Nazi leaders left and right.
- Joseph Goebbels also gets one, of all people. After the bomb has gone off and Operation Valkyrie is rounding up SS Officers and Nazi Party members left and right, he slips a cyanide capsule into his mouth and makes a phone call whilst remaining cool as ice. Major Remer comes in to tell him he's under orders to arrest him, and Goebbels gives him the phone, with Adolf Hitler on the other end. Remer is shocked to hear Hitler is still alive. Needless to say, Goebbels is not arrested, and after Remer leaves, he calmly spits out the poison.
- Erwin von Vitzleben's final speech to the court, which he actually said in Real Life.You may hand us over to the executioner, but in three months' time, the disgusted and harried people will bring you to book, and drag you alive through the dirt in the streets.Original German
- "Long live Sacred Germany!"
