The man who missed killing Hitler by 13 minutes
 
Very interesting story. Hope it comes to SA. It will be released in Germany on the 9th April. What I also found interesting was the following comment:

"Last year, finally, German Chancellor Angela Merkel acknowledged Elser as a hero of anti-Nazi resistance, describing him as "one who struggled on his own… to try to prevent the war".

Looks not too dissimilar to the army generals assassination attempt later in the war...Valkyrie

I don't know how I missed this thread.

This man's story crops up nowadays in the various documentaries made on the subject of whacking the Fuhrer (why did nobody make a "Whackafuhrer" game?) and I always think "What a great plot for a movie".

I do hope I get to see it sometime...
