as I've recently read Bernhard R. Kroener's opus magnum on Fromm, it seems to me that von Haeften is mostly regarded (in Germany at least) as von Stauffenbergs truthful knave. He is part of the hagiography of the resistance of course, but as a knave. Maybe he was more important than that (he was an Olt. d.R. with an degree in law) but who knows?
All the best,

I mean, what does the word 'knave' mean here? I think Haeften was quite an important role in the July 20th Plot because it was him that accompanied Stauffenberg to Wolf's Liar... And as he has a family tradition of supporting the Germany resistance (with father and brother as members of the association?..), he himself was apparently not compelled to join the plot...
Well...I dunno= =....Just my oppinion...
