# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Leisnig on 4 October 1888, Friedrich Olbricht rose to infantry general and senior staff officer during World War II. Secretly, he was in contact with most of the leaders of the resistance, briefed on their various plots, placing sympathetic officers in key positions and quietly encouraging field commanders to support an overthrow. By late 1943 his office had become the center of resistance plotting, working under Claus von Stauffenberg. On 20 July 1944 the assassination attempt failed. Olbricht was executed that same night.
