Biographical information in digital form
Axel Freiherr (Baron) von dem Bussche-Streithorst was a German nobleman, professional Army officer and member of the German Resistance. He tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler in coordination with Count Stauffenberg in November 1943 at the Wolfsschanze, but the action was posponed as result of an Allied air raid on Berlin. When the next assasination attempt was to be taken place he was already seriously wounded and could not carry out the plan -- (Wikipedia)
