Killing Hitler: The Story of Assassination Attempts

In 1933, Adolf Hitler became the Reich Chancellor of Germany. A year later, all parties except for the Nazi party were banned, freedom of the press became a memory, and Hitler's power seemed absolute. However, soon after, German resistance emerged. Groups of conspirators, including military personnel, school teachers, politicians, diplomats, theologians, and even carpenters, repeatedly attempted to put an end to the Führer's bloody rule. The book tells the story of this resistance, shedding new light on its psychological, social, and military dynamics, as well as the reasons behind the decision to kill Hitler. Based on specific observations, the author draws broader conclusions: why do some people choose active resistance despite the deadly risks, while others do not? Who is most likely to become a resistance fighter? And what can we learn about the complex and changing motivations that drive people down this path?
