< Heusinger was accused of involvement in the 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, but was cleared by the People’s Court. Heusinger was later appointed head of the military cartography office when the war ended.
There were many attempts to assassinate Hitler during the third reich and most plots originated from within the upper command. This should not be seen as attempts to end fascism and stop the war by killing Hitler. These were attempts to usurp Hitler in order to gain his position and, from the perspective of the plotters, provide more reliable leadership so that the war could be won. Heusinger plotting to kill Hitler is not an implication that he had renounced Nazism nor does it absolve him of his many crimes against humanity. No one like this should ever have even been considered for another position of power in any capacity. Imo, he should have been shot and the fact that he wasn’t is a weakness of liberalism
