Claus von Stauffenberg’s Plastic Explosive

Origin
Claus von Stauffenberg (1907 - 1944) was a German army officer and member of the German nobility who was one of the leading members of the failed 20 July plot of 1944 to assassinate Adolf Hitler, removing the Nazi Party from power. The plan was to plant explosives at Wolfsschanze (translated to Wolf's Lair) which was Hitler's first Eastern Front military headquarters in WWII. With two bombs he placed one on a support pillar and left the other under the conference room table. The explosion killed four officers and injured everyone else Hitler was protected by the blast by the heavy, solid-oak conference table leg. Hitler then escaped by plane and later Stauffenberg, who lost his right hand during the attempt, led a shoot out to try to kill Hitler again. This resulted in Stauffenberg being wounded and then arrested for High Treason.

Effects
Powerful explosive, will not kill those of German descent.
