Generalleutnant Karl Koller in July 1944
I had always believed that Koller, head of Luftwaffe Operations, was badly injured in the July Bomb Plot against Hitler, the explosion mortally wounding his friend Korten.
But I have come across reports that on 20 July 1944 he was in Paris, presumably on an inspection tour. The fact that he attended a Fuhrer conference on 8 August barely 20 days after the bomb went off appears to confirm this.
Does anyone have any information about his movements in July before and after the bomb went off and exactly when Goering removed him as Operations chief?
