Editing 20 July plot (section)

=== First week of July ===
On Saturday, 1 July 1944 Stauffenberg was appointed Chief of Staff to General [[Friedrich Fromm|Fromm]] at the Reserve Army headquarters on Bendlerstraße in central Berlin. This position enabled Stauffenberg to attend Hitler's military conferences, either at the ''[[Wolfsschanze]]'' in [[East Prussia]] or at [[Berchtesgaden]], and would thus give him an opportunity, perhaps the last that would present itself, to kill Hitler with a bomb or a pistol. Meanwhile, new key allies had been gained. These included General [[Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel]], the German military commander in France, who would take control in Paris when Hitler was killed, and it was hoped, negotiate an immediate [[armistice]] with the invading Allied armies.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}
