This weakened Hitler to the point that he was unable to fight the allies.

Shown admirably at the battle of the bulge.

Von Böselager was instrumental in the allies victory.

May his bravery be an insperation to us all in our fight against suppression of ourselves and of others.
Well said Von, things could have been so different had that plan succeeded, and it so nearly did.
R.I.P Philipp Boeselager We owe you so much.
