More missed opportunities to stage an attempt on Hitler's life lead to confusion and suspicion.

Stauffenberg is only able to smuggle one of the bombs into the meeting and asks to be seated close to Hitler.

An explosion is set off, and Stauffenberg tries to leave as quickly as possible.

Only one of the bombs explodes, leaving Hitler still alive and a state of general confusion.

Stauffenberg is certain that Hitler is dead and activates Operation Valkyrie, overpowering Colonel Fromm.

All orders seem equally suspicious after the alleged assassination, leading to chaos at the typing pool in the Bendlerblock.

With massive communication problems, the implementation of measures to disarm and arrest the Gestapo and SS is delayed.

Contradicting information and orders come from all sides, along with the truth that Hitler has indeed survived the attack.

As the plan unravels, Olbricht, trapped in the Bendlerblock, prepares himself for the worst.

As the action progresses in Paris, the operatives in Germany are forced to surrender.

Stauffenberg and his co-conspirators receive the death penalty, which is carried out immediately.

As Hitler announces to the world that he has survived the attack, the officers involved in the assassination attempt meet a tragic end. They remain convinced, however, that they did the right thing.

“Rosetta,” a space probe launched by the European Space Agency in 2004, took over 12 years to reach her destination: a faraway comet hurtling through space. This animated short retells her epic journey in the form of a fairy tale.

Because they raise so many questions, celestial bodies have always fascinated humankind. Various probes — including Rosetta and her “little brother” Philae — have been sent into space to gather more information. This video presents the probes as courageous and curious figures in a whimsical fairy tale.

Rosetta and Philae were ready for their biggest challenge yet: Philae’s landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. When Rosetta said goodbye to her lander and released it onto the comet's surface, the whole world watched in suspense to see what would happen next.

Rosetta tells us about what she learned during her first year studying comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — and Philae, asleep on the comet itself, finally wakes up from his hibernation!

"Alles nur geklaut," one of the earliest hits by German pop band Die Prinzen (The Princes), is a humorous reflection on how an artist's work may not always be original, and how that can affect a relationship. The German verb "klauen" is slang for "to steal."

Stay true to your bicycle, and you’ll get to where you’re going faster! Here, Die Prinzen pay tribute to their transport of choice — and deal out plenty of insults to those who drive cars.

Who doesn't dream of having lots of money? Die Prinzen, one of Germany's most famous pop bands, list various ways of achieving this goal in their song "Millionär." Fun fact: Before they formed the Prinzen, most of the band's members were singers in the St. Thomas Choir of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig—a choir that was founded in 1212 and conducted by Johann Sebastian Bach from 1723-1750.
