Killing The Fuhrer: The Many Attempts On Hitler’s Life Before WWII

One of the most hated men in the history of humanity survived many attempts on his life during his 12-year reign. Even though Adolf Hitler ruled Germany with an iron fist, eliminating his political opponents, he couldn’t stop individuals who believed in a Germany free of Nazism.

Hitler was labeled a target before his electoral victory in 1933. There were seven known attempts on his life before 1933, most notable being the one in Hotel Kaiserhof in 1932 when he was almost poisoned.

Another 28 attempts were made on Fuhrer’s life from 1933 to 1944, the last one being the most famous ― the July 20th Plot organized by Claus von Stauffenberg.
