Many high ranking officials in the Whermacht had a hatred of the racial policies imposed by Hitler. Moreover, the Whermacht never got on well with the SS, the SS being Hitler's "Preatorian Guards" and therefore being treated much better than the Whermacht. During the 20th July Plot, the conspirators attempted to arrest SS officials and then close the concentration camps (as they were run by the SS). One of the targets was Himmler himself, but fortunately (for him), he didn't go to the meeting at the Wolf's Lair.
