The two von Stauffenbergs, whilst bearing the same name and both CSU members, were cut from quite different cloth - from Rogue Agents:
"(306) ... Hans Christoph Schenk Freiherr von Stauffenberg, who died in Munich in 2005, was a member of the junior branch of the von Stauffenberg family, being the son of Reichstag Nazi MP Franz Wilhelm Karl Maria Gabriel Schenk Freiherr von Stauffenberg."
[B]"Franz Ludwig Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, a CSU MP from 1976 to 1987 and a Vice President of the German PEU section (324) This von Stauffenberg, only distantly related to the Freiherr von Stauffenberg who ran the CSU's private intelligence network, was part of the main branch of the von Stauffenberg lineage, being the third son of Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg who with his brother Berthold was executed in 1944 for plotting to kill Hitler. "
Glad to have got that one cleared up. [/B]
