During Hitler was present at the ceremonies for Heroes day at the Zeughaus in Berlin, the German Generals had plotted an attempt on his life. Colonel Gersdorff volunteered his life by carrying two bombs which he intended detonating whilst standing alongside Hitler. Unfortunately Hitler changed his plans at the last minute and only stayed a few minutes for the ceremonies.
