Document Summary
Soldiers on eastern front shoot hitler at point-blank range - others thought too soon. Insert a bomb in bottle of cognac in fuhrer"s flight - detonator damaged by intense cold midair. Suicide bombing with colonel gersdorff as martyr - Hitler"s fluctuating schedules kept the plan from becoming a success b) c) Gassings of pows -> mass deportations from germany. Mass gassings of jews in concentration camps shortly after. Wannsee came as close to success as war would see it. Still thought the war was because of the jews. Said they would be exterminated to prevent another world war a) Seeking to pass responsibility for the war on the enemy nations. Because you are fighting us, we have to conduct international jewry b) Rejection to claim that hitler was not author of holocaust. Hitler began cumulative radicalisation which led to destruction of jewish people. Holocaust was a movement as much from below as from above.
