Leaving out the aftermath if Hitler was or as the case was not killed and just looking at the events before the fatal day. Some would say Stauffenberg was just trying to save his own skin knowing that the tide of war had turned.

If the war was going well would he have joined the plotters? Don't ask me as that timeline was not to be. Did he join just because the injury left a mark on him like some sort of grudge against Hitler? Again i don't know.

From my point of view what Stauffenberg did and he knew what could happen if he failed clearly did not stop him from trying. And out of all the plots only this one came near to succeeding in killing Hitler. As for the aftermath again we will never know if they would have got control.

He clearly took the decision to stand against Hitler and take direct action which was a big risk. What ever his true motivation was he rolled the dice and lost.
