General Stauffen

Generalleutnant Kurt Stauffen is a fictional character who appeared in the Hogan's Heroes episode, Operation Briefcase. He was played by Oscar Beregi.

Stauffen is on his way to a meeting with Adolf Hitler, where he plans to kill him with a time bomb. He is given a briefcase filled with explosives by Colonel Hogan. Since the plot failed, it is implied that Stauffen and his co-conspirators are all captured and executed.

Note
The story is based on the actual failed July 20th plot to kill Hitler in exactly the same manner. The character Stauffen is named after the plot's actual perpetrator, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg. The fictional film Valkyrie, released in 2008, and starring Tom Cruise is another account of this story.
