# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Henning Hermann Karl Robert von Tresckow was born 10 January 1901 and rose through the ranks of the German military to major general. By 1943 he had organized resistance within the officer corps and personally attempted to kill Hitler on 13 March of that year. When that failed, he drafted the Valkyrie plan — the blueprint for a coup against the Nazi government. The conspiracy culminated in the 20 July 1944 plot, which also failed. Learning the news at Królowy Most on the Eastern Front, Tresckow took his own life on 21 July 1944.
