THE FULL STORY OF THE MAN WHO ALMOST KILLED ADOLF HITLER IN 1939 In 1939 a massive time bomb exploded in a Munich beer hall. Exactly who planted the bomb sparked a propaganda brawl. The Nazis blamed the British Secret Service and Otto Strasser, while the British accused the Nazis of staging the beer hall bombing to bolster appetite for war. No one wanted to believe a zither-playing cabinet maker was the sole perpetrator. Written like fiction, this is the true story of one man obsessed with an ambitious plan: to prevent a catastrophic war that would by its end kill over 60 million people worldwide. Elser's bold attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in November 1939 is told in parallel with the failed British SIS operation to bring peace by making contact with the German Opposition. Instead the British agents were kidnapped by Nazi intelligence agents in what became known as the Venlo Incident. As personal prisoners of Adolf Hitler the fate of both Elser and the British agents hung in the balance until April 1945. Elser was condemned to live through the escalating atrocities of the Third Reich - the evil he was so desperate to prevent. Illustrated.
