Adolf Hitler survived an astonishing 42 assassination attempts and plots against his life whilst he was the

Fuhrer. Today, we're going to be looking at the top four of those near misses, each one of which

would have changed the course

of history, whether it's the Polish conspirators in a smashed warsaw, the lone craftsman

in the Munich Beer Hall, the circle of Vermarked officers on the Eastern Front, and finally,

and most famously, that one-armed staff officer carrying that briefcase into the wolf's lair.

This is the story of how resistance formed under a tyrannical regime of meticulous plans

that were defeated by the weather, the wood and just bad luck, and by people who decided

that failure was worth the risk.

For this, we are joined by a great friend of the podcast, Roger Morehouse, brilliant historian,

and author specialising in modern German and Central European history.

He's been on many times before.

He is the author, among many other books, of killing Hitler, the plots, the assassins and the dictator

who cheated death.

Let's get into it.

T-minus 10.

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

God saves the king.

No black quaint unity till there is first than black unity.

Never to go to war with one another again.

And lift-off, and the shuttle has cleared the power.

Roger, good to see on the pod.
