Outside the operating room, Bonas and two other major officers from the machine gun battalion were waiting anxiously.
One hour, two hours...four hours passed, and there was still no movement in the operating room.
Finally, after 4 hours and 56 minutes of anxious waiting, the surgeon finally walked out of the operating room.
"How's it going? Doctor." Bonas immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"The operation was successful and the patient successfully saved his life. However..."
"But what?" Bonas immediately interrupted the doctor and said.
"However, the patient has permanently lost his left eye, two fingers on his right hand and left hand, and may even have paralysis of both feet." The surgeon said helplessly.
Bonas was silent, and then he sat down on the ground. He understood that Stauffenberg, an excellent partner, would probably no longer be able to fight side by side with him. This hero who had saved the entire machine gun battalion would never be able to fight side by side with him.
Lost the chance to return to the battlefield.
Fortunately, with the best treatment of doctors and the special care of combat heroes from his superiors, Stauffenberg received the best medical treatment, successfully saved his life, and was transferred to the best orthopedic hospital in Munich for recuperation.
However, even so, he still could not change the fact that he had lost his left eye, two fingers on his right hand and his left hand, and his legs were also severely damaged. Doctors almost unanimously concluded that he would never walk again.
.
Bonas wondered whether Stauffenberg would be able to accept the fact that after he woke up, a vigorous soldier spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. This was already very difficult for an ordinary person to accept.
For a professional soldier like Stauffenberg, it was equivalent to a verdict that he would be permanently separated from the front line.
He has no chance to make great achievements now. This feat of saving the entire battalion is also his last military exploit.
As the doctors said, Stauffenberg finally woke up after 28 days in a coma.
After he woke up, he first discovered that the field of view of his eyes had become smaller. When he was about to use a mirror to check the condition of his eyes, he then discovered that his right hand was no longer there, and two fingers of his left hand were missing. What was even more terrifying was that
What's strange is that my feet don't seem to obey the instructions of my brain and are completely unable to move.
After Stauffenberg woke up, all kinds of situations immediately poured into his mind one after another, which made Stauffenberg feel a little distracted for a while.
A lone line of tears flowed uncontrollably from the right eye.
Gradually, he also suffered from depression and wanted to leave this world more than once. Fortunately, the nurses in the hospital stopped him from committing suicide several times. Later, the hospital made an exception and transferred him to intensive care with 24-hour supervision.
Shi was able to avoid his suicide behavior.
Later, in the intensive care unit, Stauffenberg was writhing in pain every day on the hospital bed. In order to restrain him, the hospital tied ropes to all three of his limbs and fixed them on his hospital bed.
His mouth was covered with a special protective gear to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, and like a mental patient, he cried and howled in bed all day long, writhing in pain.
He tried to break free from the rope more than once, but not only did he fail to break free, but he also rubbed bloody holes where the rope was tied. Every time the medical staff applied medicine to these bloody holes, he would stutter and then grind them again.
The wound was broken, which eventually led to a large-scale infection of the wound, and the infection once spread to the chest and lungs. Fortunately, it was the hospital's best efforts to save his life.
None of these could stop Stauffenberg from wanting to commit suicide. Soon he thought of a new method, which was a hunger strike. From then on, he did not commit any self-harm behavior, that is, he did not eat or drink all day long.
Drink, no matter how much the nurse persuades me, it’s useless.
This situation lasted for two days until the morning of the third day...
Stauffenberg suddenly seemed like a different person. He seemed to have had an epiphany. Not only did he eat on time every day, but he also had a smile on his face from time to time. Everyone agreed that Stauffenberg had completely let go.
Gradually, after reviving his life from the edge of death, Stauffenberg even began to rely on his own efforts to overcome his disability.
He began to refuse to take any analgesics, hoping to endure the unbearable pain with his own perseverance.
Later, with the help of medical staff, he learned to dress himself, bathe and write with his three remaining fingers.
The medical staff were very surprised by the patient's tenacity. They couldn't figure out why Stauffenberg, who could no longer be sent to the battlefield, was still fighting so hard.
Because Staufen's left hand was so badly injured that only three fingers were left, and his right arm was completely broken, he could not even hold a gun to fight at first.
But then, through constant practice, he learned to shoot a small Ruger P08 pistol with three fingers of his left hand, and he also had good marksmanship.
People around him who knew about this incident called him a miracle in the history of German wounded soldiers.
However, this miracle is no longer of the same mind as the German Army.
Stauffenberg's tenacious struggle for recovery was not to serve the Third Reich again, or to work for Reinhard.
Now, he has made up his mind to try to assassinate Reinhard.
Yes, he once supported the Führer and regarded the Führer as the savior of Germany and a gift from God to the German people.
However, the head of state is no longer omnipotent. He has lost the luck of winning every bet.
Before being admitted to the hospital, Stauffenberg heard the bad news that the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front had torn up the treaty and surrendered the German border. After waking up, he heard that on the Southern Front where he was previously, General Rommel's attack failed and the Allies shifted to a strategic defensive.
Bad news.
After personally experiencing a battle that suffered heavy casualties but ultimately failed, Stauffenberg began to no longer worship his Führer.
On the contrary, as a man who once did not care about his own life and was ready to abandon it, Stauffenberg no longer cared about the German tradition of "loyalty to duty".
"It doesn't matter. At worst, just throw it away." Stauffenberg thought.
"Reinhard is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. He has already begun to fail. And if he is allowed to continue to fail, countless people will appear in Germany and have the same experience as me."
Stauffenberg, who had become somewhat stubborn due to his disability, did not consider who could stabilize the situation once Germany lost Reinhardt. He also did not consider that even without Reinhardt, this would have been a
Will the war initiated by Britain and the Soviet Union stop?
He couldn't think of so much right now, and the only question that confused him was: "Is there not even one officer in Reinhard's base camp who can kill that blond beast with a gun?"
While still lying on the hospital bed, Stauffenberg realized that this matter could only be done by him...
