Count Claus von Stauffenberg was born in 1907 to Count Alfred von Stauffenberg, Lord Chamberlain of the [[Kingdom of Wurtemburg]], and Countess Caroline von Uxkull-Gyllenband. His bearing and that of his brothers was greatly influenced by their father's responsibilities at the Royal Court at [[Stuttgart]]. Germany's defeat in [[World War I]] and the collapse of the monarchy devastated the Stauffenberg family. In 1918, Claus was heard to say, "My Germany cannot perish: if she goes down now, she will rise again strong and great: after all, there is still a God."<ref>Peter Hoffman, "Stauffenberg: A Family History 1905-1944," page 13.</ref>
