Operation Foxley: Mission, Liquidate Hitler

He had made the French capitulate, brought Europe to its knees and launched the largest extermination operation in history by deporting millions of Jews. Adolf Hitler was willing to do anything to achieve his dreams of domination. To stop the dictator, the British forces, the French resistance fighters or the German opponents imagined numerous scenarios aimed at assassinating him. However, each attempt proved to be a failure. One of the most emblematic is that planned by a German officer Claus Schenk Von Stauffenberg during the plot of July 20, 1944 at the Wolfsschanze, the Führer's headquarters located in East Prussia. But the attempt only hurt him and resulted in a radical reduction in his public appearances. On a daily basis, Hitler was too well protected and his closest lieutenants were constantly on guard.
