The Top Assassination Attempts on Hitler
What does it take to kill a dictator?
In this episode, we explore the most dramatic assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler. From Georg Elser, the lone-wolf carpenter who built a bomb by hand, to the Polish underground’s relentless plots under occupation, and finally Claus von Stauffenberg, the one-eyed officer whose briefcase bomb nearly took out the Führer.
Joining us for this is Roger Moorhouse, author of 'Killing Hitler'.
Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.
