The incredible true story of the man who almost killed Hitler

New German film tells the amazing story of Georg Elser, who might have ended Hitler and prevented WW2.

What if Adolf Hitler had been assassinated shortly after his armies invaded Poland to start World War II? How would global — and Jewish — history have played out?

The question is not answered directly in the German film “13 Minutes.” But the movie, based on an actual, lone-wolf plot to kill the Fuehrer that nearly succeeded, is both a classical thriller, pitting one man against the system, and an exploration of how minute circumstance can affect the fates of millions.

“13 Minutes” is directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, who is perhaps best known for his remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, as well as “The Downfall,” which re-created Hitler’s last days in a Berlin bunker.

It's really an amazing story, Elser planted a bomb where Hitler was to speak, perhaps the Beerhall where the putsch began, see article.  The article says Hitler cut his speech short missing the bomb by 13 minutes but 7 Nazi officers and a waitress were killed.

The title of the film, 13 minutes.

It would not surprise me if there were a number of attempts on the Fuhrer's life.
