Adolf Hitler - 20 July plot assassination attempt

Time: Thursday Jul 20, 1944

Place: Rastenburg, Germany (Now Poland)

Details: Between 1939 and 1945, there were many plans to assassinate Hitler, some of which proceeded to significant degrees. The most well known, the 20 July plot of 1944, came from within Germany and was at least partly driven by the increasing prospect of a German defeat in the war.
