Who: Claus von Stauffenberg, seconds before being executed by a Nazi firing squad for his role in an attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler. Stauffenberg's biographer, Peter Hoffmann, speculates that the words, which exist in differing versions, were actually Es lebe die geheime Deutschland! (Long live the secret Germany!), a tenet held by the poet Stefan George and his circle.
