HELMUTH JAMES GRAF VON MOLTKE



 Helmuth James Graf von Moltke (11 March 1907 – 23 January 1945) was a German jurist who, as a draftee in the German Abwehr, acted to subvert German human-rights abuses of people in territories occupied by Germany during World War II and subsequently became a founding member of the Kreisau Circle resistance group, whose members opposed the government of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. He participated in their discussions about the prospects for a Germany based on moral and democratic principles after Hitler. The Nazi government executed Von Moltke for treason for his participation in these discussions.It was an unwanted execution as no evidence was found for participation of him in the 20 July plot.The presiding judge Frieser some how had to implicate him and mere participation of discussion in formation of better govt after Hitler was considered as high treason and was sentenced to death and sentence was . implemented.
