Peut-on souligner l’héroïsme de deux aviatrices alors qu’elles appartenaient au camp d’en face ? Je n’ai pas hésité en découvrant ces deux pionnières allemandes. #hannareitsch #melittavonstauffenberg
This woman was at the heart of the most famous attempt to assassinate Hitler, but has been almost forgotten. Here she is having boiled eggs & tea for breakfast with her husband. #MelittaVonStauffenberg died #otd 8 April 1944.
I tell her story in #TheWomenWhoFlewForHitler …
The face of the woman who hoped to kill Hitler #otd 1944.
#MelittaVonStauffenberg ,
1 of only 2 female Third Reich test pilots, actively supported the 20 July 1944 #bombplot to assassinate Hitler.
Her extraordinary story is told in my book: #thewomenwhoflewforhitler

🇺🇦 Mike Herbst 📶📡 DL8CY 🐻🇩🇪 🇪🇺🌍🌃 BerlinCompanion But the only other female test pilot in the Third Reich was #MelittaVonStauffenberg ; at the heart of the most famous plot to kill Hitler… Unsurprisingly, these 2 women loathed each other, & ended their lives on opposite sides of history.
