From the earliest attempts in 1923 to the von Stauffenberg bomb plot of July 20, 1944 many tried and failed to kill the founder and head of the Nazi Party who had become the supreme dictator of Germany. Although many German citizens felt deeply opposed to the ideas and methods of the National Socialists and a small minority went so far as to plot the overthrow of that cruel and tyrannical regime, none of those efforts were successful. The main reason was that eliminating Hitler was the necessary prelude to a radical overthrow of his regime. It is important to note how opposition to dictatorship and willingness to sacrifice one's life to bring it down are not enough. Other elements of a very technical nature are also required: the cooperation of key elements of the armed forces and the security apparatus, sufficient support among the public at large and the material means to conduct a successful coup d'Ttat. These and more are examined in this excellent chronicle by two veteran writers: James P. Duffy and Vincent L. Ricci.
