Carice Van Houten (Nina von Stauffenberg)

A german Colonel, war hero of old military Prussian lineage, leads an attempt to assassinate Hitler and overthrow the Third Reich regime by using a contingency plan (named Valkyrie, after a nordic war goddess), devised by Hitler himself to maintain control of the country in case of leadership decapitation. Based on a true story. It is one of the last movies that was filmed at Tempelhof Airport including planes.

The P-40s strafe the ground troops.
One P-40 returns for more.
