Yep, I was thinking the same thing. There came a point where any military coup that did away with Hitler would have been motivated by a desire to end the war on the most favorable terms possible, not do a better job fighting it and thus prolong it until victory was achieved. In fact I'd be hard put to believe there was any serious support for a coup within the military except for the express purpose of getting Hitler out of the way to facilitate negotiations with the Allies (or at least the Brits and Americans).
