Elementary school teacher and soldier executed by firing squad for "undermining military morale". After the failed assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944, Breitschaft was overheard to say "Too bad they didn't get him. That guy has brought disaster upon too many," a remark which cost him his life.
