Throughout his political life, Adolf Hitler was the subject of
numerous assassination plots, some of which were attempted, all of
which failed. While a few of these have become well known,
particularly the bomb explosions at the Burgerbr ukeller in Munich
in 1939 and the Stauffenberg _Valkyrie_ attempt carried out at the
Wolfsschanze on 20 July 1944, many others have received far less
attention -until now. In this book, John Grehan has examined the
known planned or proposed assassination attempts on Hitler, from
Chicago to London and from Sweden to the Ukraine -some of which
have not previously been presented to the general public by
historians. All manner of methods were proposed by those willing to
bring Hitler's life to a premature and sticky end and Hitler was
well aware of the danger which lurked potentially around every
corner of every road, railway track, every building and even every
individual. As a result, an immense, multi-layered security
apparatus surrounded the Fuhrer day and night. Despite this, and
knowing the risks they faced, many people sought to kill the German
leader, and some very nearly did. Yet Hitler survived, often by
just a minute or a millimetre, to die ultimately of his own hand.
These plots and conspiracies are detailed in this book, along with
a unique collection of photographs of many of the proposed or
actual assassination locations. All will be revealed in this
fascinating compilation of the obscure, the fanciful and the
carefully considered attempts to assassinate Hitler.
