    Real shame he wasn't taken out by the two snipers could have saved thousands of allied lives and brought the war to an earlier end!! That and the Satchell bomb at the Wolfs Lair put down by the great officer Claus von Stauffenberg!!

    Or it might not have?

    Wasn't there the fear on Churchill's part, that by '42/43 the view was Hitler was doing such a good job of loosing the war that getting rid of him, might mean someone that knew what they were doing would take over, and prolong the war?
    Wasn't that one of the driving forces in taking out Heydrich in '42, and the chance of him taking over from the mad Corporal if anything happened to him?
