In return for his help Stauffenburg told Fromm he could be in charge of the Whechtermact after they succeeded in killing Hitler. The changed operation Valkyrie orders still needed to be signed by Hitler. In the movie Stauffenberg brought the modified Valkyrie orders directly before Hitler. Hitler praised him
