Most people have heard of the Stauffenberg Plot but it is not
widely known that this was only one of a long series of attempts on
the life of Adolf Hitler. The Germans, Soviets, Poles and British
all made plans to kill the Fuhrer. Lone gunmen, disaffected German
officers and the Polish Underground, the Soviet NKVD and the
British Special Operations Executive were all involved. Their
methods varied from bombing, poisoning or using a sniper, to
infiltrating the SS, or even sending Rudolf Hess back to Germany
under hypnosis. Many of the plans did not make it beyond the
drawing board, some were carried out. All of them failed. Alongside
the dramatic and largely unknown stories of Hitler's numerous
assassins, this book presents a fascinating investigation of a
number of broader issues, such as the complex motives of the German
Resistance, the curious squeamishness of the British, and the
effectiveness of the Nazi security apparatus. Drawing on memoirs
and original archival sources in Poland, Germany, Russia and
Britain, Killing Hitler offers a unique perspective on the history
of the Third Reich.
