""They Almost Killed Hitler"" is a book based on the personal account of Fabian von Schlabendorff, a German officer who was involved in a failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler in 1944. The book is written by Gero von Gaevernitz, who has used Schlabendorff's own writings and interviews with him to create a detailed and gripping account of the events leading up to the assassination attempt, as well as the aftermath and its impact on the German resistance movement. The book provides a rare insight into the thinking and motivations of those who opposed Hitler's regime from within, and highlights the bravery and determination of those who risked everything to try and bring about change. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in World War II history, the German resistance, and the complex web of politics and alliances that shaped the course of the war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
