Hitler the Immortal:all the attacks against the Fuhrer

Adolf Hitler in his study

In the years that saw him in power Adolf Hitler escaped a large number of attacks, also well organized, but from which he always miraculously came out unscathed.

I wrote the following article for the news.it site.

A close-up of the Fuhrer

In the course of his life and political career Adolf Hitler escaped such a number of attacks that he himself had the feeling of being unassailable, while in the eyes of his enemies he must have appeared, at least for a certain period of time, almost "immortal".

Many were plotting against the Fuhrer, by some members of the parties outlawed in 1933, to the aristocrats, to some sectors of the military, but none succeeded in the enterprise.

In 1938 the Swiss Maurice Bavaud, tried that he should have shot him during a rally, but the impressive crowd prevented him from taking aim and the attempt failed miserably.

The following year, Georg Elser blew up the putsch brewery of Munich, where the dictator had to give a speech, whose anticipation of about half an hour, led to another stalemate.

Again in 1939, in the month of September, the Polish resistance tried with TNT, but the trigger did not occur; on 8 June of 1942 tried again, this time with the support of the British secret services, but instead of the Fuhrer's train, an owl convoy preceding him was hit ( Article taken from:Notizie.it).
