From the transcript
In the early years of the Second World War, the German army under the command of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party seemed to be an unstoppable force destined to march across and control large portions of Europe.
For a short, bleak time in history, that grim prospect was seen by some as a inevitability, thanks in no small part to Germany's rock-solid and unified leadership. At least that was the perception at the time.
But now, through the lens of history, we can understand that those surrounding Hitler were not as loyal as they had once seemed. In total, Hitler survived no fewer than 42 assassination attempts from the first time he began his rise to power in the early 1930s until he eventually took his own life roughly 15 years later.

About this briefing
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. Love content?
