“I was standing here by this table [Hitler recounted]; the bomb went off just in front of my feet… It is obvious that nothing is going to happen to me; undoubtedly it is my fate to continue on my way and bring my task to completion… What happened here today is the climax! Having now escaped death… I am more than ever convinced that the great cause which I serve will be brought through its present perils and that everything can be brought to a good end.”
