too bad Stauffenberg and the others involved did not pull this off. Of course if the 1938 plot had worked WWII in Europe would have been avoided. Trouble was that Stauffenberg and others who tried to kill Hitler were soldiers, not professional assassins.

The July 20th plot against Hitler?

Now that is a little late for that isn't it?

Who knows, in about another 50 years someone may find Joe and Hunter guilty finally.

A power struggle would have emerged along with the Allied stance on unconditional surrender.

I don't think things would have changed that much if at all.

Agreed if the 20 July plot succeeded. But the war would have ended sooner. A large percentage of the deaths in the SS camps came in final 11 months of the war.

They came so close.

"KISS" (keep it simple stupid). What were they thinking with an elaborate bomb plot when any one of them could have walked up to Hitler and put a bullet in his head? Were they too cowardly to take personal responsibility?

You used Wikipedia,a mouthpiece for the government for your source of history? You should start a comedy club,that’s like asking a bank robber who robbed a bank if he robbed thst bank,the fox guarding the henhouse, as far as history goes Wikipedia is only good for reporting the outcomes of pro sports,what the scores were.

It occurred in 1944.

Success in removing Uncle Adolf would have been almost pointless without removing his successor Himmler at the same time .Plenty of evidence that Himmler was an even worse proposition .

Soldiers are professional assassins.

If there hadn't been a war with Germany, there would have been one with the U.S.S.R., or Germany would have so fallen into its sphere that Stalin's hand would have been secure. Also, not a pleasant scenario. There probably was not a nice way to go from the Versailles agreements to the present.

No one ever called Hitler "Uncle Adolf", Russian. The US-American president called your mass-murderer Stalin "Uncle Joseph" in analogy to "Uncle Sam" as a symbol for the alliance between the USA and Russia in World War 2.

Heinrich Himmler - the boss of all policemen and the SS - and the executor of the Holocaust - was by the way not taken serios because of his Germanic spleens. His own SS called him "[der] Reichsheini" because he said he is a reborn emperor of the Holy Roman Empire - what had been blatant nonsense. The meaning of the nickname "Reichsheini" is "fool of the empire".

pity that Stauffenberg did not succeed

To me the bomb plotters only tried to take Hitler out when the war was going against them and they saw the writing on the wall.

In 1944 with some no doubt. However there were 17 or 18 plots against Hitler starting in 1938,

Long time ago i seem to remember a guy planting a bomb in that Brew keller in Munich before the war, can't remember if it exploded but i believe he was arrested on the border trying to escape.
