Movie (2008)
Starring:
Tom Cruise (Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg)
Kenneth Branagh (Major-General Henning von Tresckow)
Bill Nighy (General Friedrich Olbricht)
Tom Wilkinson (General Friedrich Fromm)
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 Airport was closed in 2008 and is now called Tempelhofer Feld, a recreational area in city centre.
Curtiss P-40E Kittyhawk Mk.I
Registration N94466, c/n 15404 of Kittyhawk LCC. A genuine Kittyhawk of the RCAF (AK933) during WWII.
Same aircraft seen in Pearl Harbor.
Historical accuracy : On 7 April 1943, Stauffenberg was part of a column strafed by P-40 Kittyhawk fighter bombers and he received multiple severe wounds.
Junkers Ju 52/3m g4e
Registration HB-HOT, c/n 6595 of Ju-Air from Dübendorf-Switzerland. This aircraft crashed into a mountain on 4 August 2018.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing).
Painted as one of the genuine Hitler's Ju 52 of the Deutsche Luft Hansa with registration D-2600 (the first one with D-2600 (Wk. Nr. / factory serial number : 4021) was christened Immelmann and was lost in 1941 (as D-AHUT); the second one (Wk. Nr. 4053) was Immelmann II and was shot down in 1942 as DD+MF.
So if chasing/escort fighters of Messerschmitt Bf 109 Gs is accurate (the type reach the front line in late 1942), D-2600 is a mistake.
Junkers Ju 52/3mg4e
Registration HB-HOP, c/n 6610 also provided by Ju-Air from Dübendorf-Switzerland. Displayed in Luftwaffe livery as BT+AY.
Same aircraft in other works at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing).

Arriving at Flughafen Berlin-Tempelhof. This airport located minutes from Berlin city center was operational till october 2008, and has since been converted into a huge recreation park.
Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6
Registration D-FMBB of EADS Messerschmitt Stiftung, an ex-Hispano Aviacion H.A. 1112 M1L Buchon transformed as Bf 109 G in 1986.
Hispano HA-1112-M1L
Registration G-BWUE, c/n 172, of the Spitfire Ltd association.
