But, as FDR said, 'We have nothing to fear except fear itself.'
I'm not picking on Germans. I'm German too. What I said goes for any majority that allows its nation to choose aggression. You can't tell me that of all of the thousands upon thousands of armed troops and armed civilians in Germany that there was not one who didn't have the opportunity to blow Hitler's head off at close range. Didn't happen. Because of fear, or agreement and loyalty to the goals of aggression?
Ergo . . . .
Oh, we have several attempts to assassinate Hitler. In 1938, Generals planned to stop the upcoming war by revolting before the troops marched to Prague. But unfortunately, the Munich treaty prevented a success. And then, the leader of the revolt resigned.
In 1944, a bomb exploded in the headquarters where Hitler had a meeting. Unfortunately, Hitler was just wounded and survived the attack. Col. Stauffenberg and his supporters, who planned the assassination in 1943, didn´t think of a suicide mission. (This would be today´s favouritie solution to make sure someone dies.) He and his closest supporters were shot the same day at the building which is now the German Federal Ministry of Defense. Hundreds of alleged or factual supporters were convicted and killed during the following months. Even Rommel was forced to committ suicide because of that.
