First-born daughter of Claus and Nina von Stauffenberg.
Married 4-4-1964 to Heino von l'Estocq. She died at the age of 25 of leukemia.
The 1944 group photo shows Valerie with her brothers & their father Claus, a German aristocrat. Note his eyepatch. In 1943, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was badly injured while serving in Tunisia - he'd lost an eye, his right hand, and two fingers from his left hand. On 20 July 1940, Col. Claus von Stauffenberg tried to assassinate Adolph Hitler with a bomb--called the Valkyrie operation. Hitler survived the blast. On 21 July 1940, the Nazis executed Claus, and later his elder brother Berthold, and his uncle Nikolaus von Üxküll-Gyllenband, #238987755. They took Claus' children from their pregnant mother Nina and put them in an orphanage. Nina was imprisoned.
Decades later, in 2008, the Valkyrie operation was the subject of a movie starring Tom Cruise as Claus.
