I’ve read some wild stories l;ike that too, especially in the unverifiable chaos of WW1. One of them was about a British Soldier who had a clear shot at Hitler, but since Hitler was just a messenger, the soldier didn’t shoot.

I’m going to look it up.

I’ve heard that story. I tend to doubt it really happened.

“One of them was about a British Soldier who had a clear shot at Hitler, but since Hitler was just a messenger, the soldier didn’t shoot.”

Hitler was a nobody back then, and didn’t even have his trademark mustache, so why would anyone remember seeing him? Doesn’t add up.
