He’s one of histories most hated men, millions want him eliminated, but only a few will step up and take action to end his rein of terror. From his early grab for power, to the final days of the Third Reich, new research reviles that there were at least 42 plots to kill Adolf Hitler. Who were these would be assassins, what were their methods and why was it that they all ultimately failed?
In this National Geographic documentary, directed by Jon Taylor, they retrace the steps, test the weapons and uncover surprising new information about these bold attempts to change the course of history.
Fascinating documentary that highlights how fragile history can be. The detailed reconstructions, weapons tests, and personal stories make each failed attempt feel tense and human. It’s chilling to realize how close some plots came to success and how chance, loyalty, and timing reshaped the twentieth century. Truly unforgettable viewing experience.
