Dispatching Hitler

Dispatching Hitler

A ponderment

I've wondered about this.  There would have been a moment in time where the assassination of Adolf Hitler would have conferred upon the assassin a state of sainthood by the entire world.  Infanticide, or even dispatching him after the attempted beer hall putsch would have been dismissed today as the work of a nut case, even though the result would have been most salubrious.  Von Stauffenberg was too late in his failed attempt. I'm sure there were numbers of people who saw what was coming from these Nazi monsters, so why didn't they act?  Fear for their lives?  Fear of the family stain?  Maybe the belief that the German population would  come to their senses and vote the Nazis out of office?  Too bad.
