Bendlerblock is a historic building complex located in the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. It is best known for its role in the German resistance against the Nazi regime during World War II. The site served as the headquarters for the Reichswehr and later the Wehrmacht, and it was here that the failed July 20, 1944, assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler was planned and coordinated by Claus von Stauffenberg and other conspirators. Today, Bendlerblock houses the German Federal Ministry of Defence and includes a memorial to the members of the German resistance.
