Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: Long live sacred Germany!
[to the "Volksgerichtshof" after being sentenced to death]
Erwin von Witzleben: You may hand us over to the executioner, but in three months time, the disgusted and harried people will bring you to book and drag you alive through the dirt in the streets.
[from trailer]
Henning von Tresckow: We have to show the world that not all of us are like him. Otherwise, this will always be Hitler's Germany.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: Look them in the eye. They'll remember you.
[from trailer]
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: Only God can judge us now.
[from trailer]
Henning von Tresckow: God promised Abraham that he would not destroy Sodom if he could find ten righteous men... I have a feeling that for Germany it may come down to one.
Ludwig Beck: Remember, this is a military operation. Nothing ever goes according to plan.
Second Lieutenant Hagen: You think it's a coup?
Major Otto Ernst Remer: Of that I'm certain. I just don't know which side we're on.
Werner von Haeften: You're as guilty as any of us.
General Friedrich Fromm: [scoffing] Spare me, Lieutenant.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: No one will be spared.
Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim: Any problem on Earth can be solved with the careful application of high explosives. The trick is not to be around when they go off.

Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: I am involved in high treason with all means available to me. Can I count you in?
Werner von Haeften: For anything, sir. Anything at all.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: "Anything" is a *very* dangerous word, Lieutenant.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: You can serve Germany, or the Fuhrer. Not both!
General Friedrich Olbricht: The point of replacing Hitler is to negotiate the truce with the Allies. The Allies, I suspect would be more amenable to a truce if we offer it to them before they get to fucking Berlin!
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: I'm a soldier, I serve my country. But this is not my country. I was lying out there bleeding to death, thinking, if I die now, I leave nothing to my children but shame. I know now there is only one way to serve Germany, and doing so I'll be a traitor - I accept that. Just tell me, can these men see it through?
[before commiting suicide]
Ludwig Beck: I'm thinking of earlier times.
Adolf Hitler: Do you recognize my voice?
Major Otto Ernst Remer: Yes, my Fuhrer.
[from trailer]
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: If I fail, they'll come for you. They'll come for all of you.
Nina Von Stauffenberg: I know.
Adolf Hitler: The Valkyrie; handmaidens of the gods, choosing who will live and who will die, sparing the most heroic from an agonizing death. One cannot understand National Socialism if one does not understand Wagner.
