In total, Hitler survived no fewer than 42 assassination attempts from the time he first began his rise to power in the early 1930s, until he eventually took his own life roughly fifteen years later. Some of these plots were no more advanced than a lone-gunman looking for the perfect opportunity to strike, while others required the careful planning and coordination of hundreds. Today, we will be taking a look at this dark time in history and discussing some of the more well-known plots as well as how and why they failed.

Speaking of German Resistance in WW2 you need to do a biographics on Dietrich BonHoeffer
Still think he was puppet leader. A front.
when I saw the title, I though it was part of Mega Projectsđđđ
He was born for reason, to change the course of the history.
Imagine the bad guys won ww2. We wouldn't have drag shows for kids, the US wouldn't have a dementia patient as a president and the west wouldn't be flooded by migrants.
HORRIBLE!
How history might have changed if one of these assassinations had been successful, especially one of the early ones.
Anyone recognizes the music this video uses in the beginning? It's too quiet, short and Simon's voice doesn't help. Heard it in other Warographics videos, but again, too quiet and too short.
Most wonderful introducing & informative coverage about Adolf Hitler assassinations which attempted to eliminated him & feild…during 30-40th years of last century European countries were under British intelligences dominate also during WW2 Sir Winston Churchill identified ( German resistance against Nazi party & regime as ( died or death resistance)…So British policy at that times wanted direct invading of Germany by Allies not internal coupon for strategic capitulate of Germany …thanks for sharing..I appreciate your working hard..
He didn't get assasinated, because he was so evil, nobody can kill evil people.
Evil people only die by suicide. Unless you break their guardian demon, which is hard, you need to fast and when you do that, you don't want to kill, since murder is a sin.
A few forgotten heros there. Salute
Yet somehow always missed
The only assassin he couldn't thwart was himself.
Cool video. Any chance of a Boer War episode?
Apparently constantly being on a timetable and then constantly being behind on that timetable can save your life.
I wish the Nazis never came to power.
Simon that beard is getting glorious damn
Remember Time Magazine put Hitler on its cover as Man of the Year.
(Obama got a Nobel prize for doing nothing)
In the end, the Fuhrer killed himself, supposedly.
It is mind blowing to know that Hitler avoided so many assassination attempts. So many of them sounds like something you'd see in a film or something. Several them sound very interesting. And I can't say I ever knew there was a German resistance to Hitler, so yeah, really crazy stuff.
The night of the long knives was an internal power struggle, which Ernst Roehm lost⌠so he and his SA were murdered by those Nazis who won. Ernst Roehm was a committed Nazi, a thug, utterly ruthless and brutal, a friend of Hitler from the early days and also gay⌠the being gay bit played a role for some of his Nazi friends who plotted against him, others just wanted more power. Anyone murdered during the night of long knives were hardcore Nazis, so no innocent blood spilled ⌠Nazis turning on other Nazis, for power, and because at the end of day someone who does not fit their worldview will be taken care once the person served his/ her purposeâŚ.
A biography of Henning von Tresckow would be interestingâŚ
The real blame should be in France, England, and the rest of the powers that fought in WW1. If their aim had been better he might have just died in the mud and we never would've lost millions upon millions of our species
Beyond those monuments to heroism is the Potomac River, and on the far shore the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery, with its row upon row of simple white markers bearing crosses or Stars of David. They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom.
Each one of those markers is a monument to the kind of hero I spoke of earlier. Their lives ended in places called Belleau Wood, The Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno, and halfway around the world on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Pork Chop Hill, the Chosin Reservoir, and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam.
Under one such marker lies a young man, Martin Treptow, who left his job in a small town barbershop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division. There, on the western front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire.
We're told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading, ''My Pledge,'' he had written these words: ''America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.''
The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds, to believe that together with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us.
And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans.
God bless you, and thank you.
what is this bald
This was very exciting, I was hoping any of them would work out even tho we know how history whent lol. But this shows you how great written and narrated this video was.
They tried him a bunch, damn dude was ducking death consistently
True heroes, sic semper tyrannis
United States Democrats are reminiscent of early Naziism.
It's really no surprise that Hitler thought he was proteGod. And anointed by god.
The only person I can think of with more plot armor than him is Fidel Castro
The dude with the bomb in his pants during the art exhibit is extremely lucky and unlucky…lucky he didn't die, and unlucky that hitler was rushing through everything
I suspect Hitler was killed in one of those attacks, and a double was put in his place. That's why they were uncertain the body found in his bunker was his.
Please do an entire video on the July 20 plot please.
Interesting video
What did I learn? The Gestapo were really good at their job… đ¤
Funnily enough I've been thinking about rewatching Valkyrie for the last 3 weeks. I think I'll save this video for when I have
why didn't some one go john wilks booth and just shoot him in the head? did officers not carry sidearms around him?
you can tell he practiced saying burgerbraukeller 10 times fast đđđ
Hitler…Hitler
Looks like Hitler's assassination attempts… Bombed
Hitler had the luck of the Irish that Michael Malloy had.
The only one who has successfully managed to kill Hitler…
….is Hitler.
"You may hand us over to the executioner, but in three months time, the disgusted and harried people will bring you to book and drag you alive through the dirt in the streets" -Field Marshal Erwin von Witzleben, Valkyrie (2008)
"We have to show the world that not all of us were like him" -Maj Gen. Henning von Tresckow, Valkyrie (2008)
"Look them in the eye. They'll remember you…Long live sacred Germany!" -Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, Valkyrie (2008)
Hitler: âLetâs start a war that kills 100 million peopleâ
Also Hitler: âIâll take the vegan option, zank youâ
This may sound silly and ridiculous but i genuinely believe that at least one or two assassination attempts on Hitler's life were made by time travelers from the future trying to alter history and prevent WW2 from happening. If that is the case then it proves that history cannot be altered in anyway. Hitler was meant to start the war and was meant to commit suicide in his bunker in 1945. Those time travelers, instead of changing history, simply became a part of history: a predestination paradox.
Hitler was damn lucky, but fortunately a guy called Adolf finally shot him.
The subtitle in the thumbnail for this video, 'Nazi Germanyâs Final Chance at Salvation', is an unfortunate wording. By July of 1944 âNazi Germanyâ had NO HOPE of survival. âGermanyâ maybe, but not âNazi Germanyâ. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES would there be any future for that regime. As far back as the end of 1941, after the United States had entered the war, the Germans had been made aware of the declaration, via the 'Associated Press'; that the Allies had unanimously agreed; that the war had been so heightened, so broadened & the regimeâs "War of Aggression" had persisted to such an extent that the 'Allied Powers' wouldnât be accepting anything less than âUnconditional Surrenderâ. So, the Germans knew by that point that the proverbial gloves were off. Then, after the Wehrmacht had been broken at Stalingrad in late 1942/early 1943, with the loss of the mighty German 6th Army; where the 'German Summer Offensives of 1942' devolved into one long, rapidly deteriorating defensive war; many of the officers at the German High Command saw the writing on the wall, and knew that it was as if the Nazi regime had just been given a diagnosis of Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer (anyone who knows different types of cancer, knows that that oneâs not good, it moves fast & you donât have that much time). So if there were any Germans harboring any hopes that there could be some kind of Armistice & ending to the war where the Nazi regime would be allowed to continue to exist, those hopes were in vain by the end of 1941.
Hitler's survival ensured the eventual and indelible obliteration of Germany's ability to ever rise again under a Fuhrer.
Let's see if you can tell which view is from a National Socialist, "Nazi" and which is from a Marxist Socialist, "Liberal", "progressive"
1: "Equal liability of all to work."
2: "The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically."
3: "We demand the nationalisation of all associated industries."
4: "Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State."
5: "We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press."
6: "We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens." Abolition of unearned incomes.
7: "Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery."
8: "We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare"
9: "The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worth while."
10: "I think it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board just as he might come before the income tax commissioner and say every 5 years or every 7 years⌠Just put them there and say, âSir or madam will you be kind enough to justify your existence⌠if youâre not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little bit more then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive. Because your life does not benefit us and it canât be of very much use to yourself.'"
Aside from the National Socialists, "Nazi's" being obsessed with race, their political programs were quite similar. A fact that J. Goebbels even acknowledge in a 1920's speech. Yes, the National Socialists "Nazi" beat up on the Marxist International Socialists. But all Socialists have their infighting! We see some of the same fault lines in the Democratic Party today, with one part sticking to its traditional race-based victimization theory, while the other side is fighting for a class-warfare argument.This is a classic dichotomy.
Answers:
-25 Point National Socialist (Nazi) Program: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
-The Communist Manifesto: 1, 4
-H.G. Wells: 9
-George Bernard Shaw: 10
