"With his decision to play Count Stauffenberg, Tom Cruise will change the image the world has of Germans." That was what German newspapers wrote just a year ago. In "Valkyrie" Cruise portrays the aristocratic German army officer Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, who attempted to kill Adolf Hitler.
