See why it is appropriate that Tommy was picked for Stauffenberg. Tommy is identical to the actual Stauffenberg.

Check it out:

Left: The real Stauffenberg

Right: Tom Cruise

Another similar pic comparing the two:

Love Tommy or hate him, you can’t deny that he is perfect for Stauffenberg, I don’t think anybody else could pull off that role.

Now that I’ve seen the movie, it makes me want to shop for some history books and learning the entire history of that day on July 20th, 1944.

This wikipedia gives some info on that stuff:

I’m sure the Non Fiction books from the library or bookstores will give us a lot more than what Singer gave us in the film.
