You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.218.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Heinz Brandt''' (11 March 1907 – 21 July 1944) was a German officer. During [[World War II]] he served as an aide to General [[Adolf Heusinger]], the head of the operations unit of the General Staff. He may have inadvertently saved [[Adolf Hitler]]'s life, at the cost of his own, by moving the bomb planted by [[Claus von Stauffenberg]] during the [[20 July plot]].

==Early life==
Brandt, the son of later General der Kavallerie Georg Brandt, was born in [[Charlottenburg]] (now [[Berlin]]). He joined the [[Reichswehr]] in 1925. Brandt attended a course at the [[cavalry]] school in [[Hanover]] from 1927 to 1928 and was commissioned a [[lieutenant]]. In 1936 he was a member of the gold medal-winning German [[show jumping]] team in the [[Equestrian at the 1936 Summer Olympics|equestrian event]] at the [[1936 Summer Olympics|Berlin Summer Olympics]], on his horse Alchemy.

==Second World War==
At the outbreak of the Second World War he was a [[captain (army)|Hauptmann]] on the general staff of the [[Oberkommando der Wehrmacht]]. After serving in an infantry division he was promoted to [[Major (rank)|major]] in January 1941 and [[Oberstleutnant]] in April 1942.

On 13 March 1943, Brandt was an unwitting participant in an attempt to assassinate Hitler. Generalmajor [[Henning von Tresckow]] instructed Lieutenant Fabian von Schlabrendorff to ask Brandt to carry a package containing bottles of what he claimed was [[Cointreau]] onto Hitler's [[Focke-Wulf Fw 200|Condor]] plane for delivery to Oberst [[Helmuth Stieff]] as payment for a lost bet. The package in fact contained a primed bomb which in the event failed to detonate.<ref name="PlottingHitler'sDeath">((cite book|year=1994|author=Joachim Fest|author-link=Joachim Fest|isbn=0-297-81774-4|title=[[Plotting Hitler's Death: The German Resistance to Hitler, 1933-1945]]|publisher=Weidenfeld & Nicolson))</ref>

In May 1943, Brandt was promoted to [[Oberst]] (Colonel).

===20 July bomb===
((Main|20 July plot))
On 20 July 1944, he arrived at the [[Wolf's Lair]] headquarters in [[Rastenburg]], [[East Prussia]] for a situation conference attended by Hitler. With the assistance of Major [[Ernst John von Freyend]], [[Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg|Oberst von Stauffenberg]] put a briefcase containing a primed bomb at Brandt's feet as close as possible to Hitler and to the right of General Heusinger who was standing next to him. Stauffenberg then made an excuse that he had a phone call and left the room. Soon after he left, Brandt wanted to get a better look at a map on the table, he found the briefcase in his way and moved the briefcase to the other side of a thick strong table leg. Seven minutes later the bomb exploded and blew one of Brandt's legs off.<ref name=Nemesis>((cite book|year=2000|author=Ian Kershaw|author-link=Ian Kershaw|isbn=0-393-32252-1|title=Hitler 1936–1945: Nemesis|publisher=Penguin Press))</ref>

Three other people also died as a result of the explosion. It was later concluded that its exact positioning next to a leg of the map table was a crucial factor in determining who in the room survived.<ref name=GermanOpposition>((cite book|year=1997|author=Michael C Thomsett|author-link=Michael Thomsett|isbn=0-7864-0372-1|title=The German Opposition to Hitler: The Resistance, the Underground, and Assassination Plots, 1938–1945|publisher=McFarland))</ref>

*In the 2008 film ''[[Valkyrie (film)|Valkyrie]]'', Heinz Brandt is portrayed by [[United Kingdom|British]] actor [[Tom Hollander]].
