In the middle of the French campaign, Stauffenberg himself had experienced a dramatic change of fortune. On 27 May—a day after his division had captured Calais and the British evacuation at Dunkirk had begun—he learned he was to be transferred from 6th Panzer to the General Staff. This was a significant advancement, and an indication that his merits had been recognised in high quarters, but at first it struck Stauffenberg as ‘dismal news’. He had developed a taste for combat against a worthy adversary, yet he, as well as everyone else, was quick to recognise that with the General Staff he was truly in his element. It was with the General Staff that he was to spend the next two and a half years. In this milieu, at the very centre of the chain of command, he was to prove himself. During that time his attitude was to harden and his determination crystallise—Adolf Hitler had to be overthrown.
