July 20 in 1944 .... a failed revolt against Hitler

[Zebra]

If i remember correctly he was a contractor working in the building.

Did you also know the bomb plotters were tried by a unhinged fanatical Nazi Judge in a so called peoples Court? Judge Roland Freisler he had them hung on piano wire and a film sent to Hitler, he also had some Students executed who belonged to the White Rose resistance movement, when you think at that time many German people were under the Nazi Spell so they were in a minority very brave. Freisler was killed later in a allied air raid.

yes, Freisler was a terrible person!

and yes, there were various other attempts to kill Hitler, but they all failed .... so Hitler claimed that he had divine protection.

had he succeeded, history of Europe would have been different!

There should have been thousands of Herschel Grynszpans in the 1930s. Cowardice is the Crime That Enables All Others.

18 known attempts between 1938 to 1944.

18 is a lot
and there may also be unknown ones, too

Yet no one had the balls who were close to Hitler to just put a bullet in Hitlers head.

Actually there were 2 bombs Stauffenberg only had time to activate 1. Had he put the other bomb in the case with the one he activated BOTH would have exploded killing everyone in the room.

Like the line in the movie says..."It's a military operation. Nothing goes according to plan."

Have you ever read about Georg Elser?

He tried to blow up Hitler in 1939 already

Georg Elser would deserve a thread of his own
