Elser plot
Georg Elser was a man who could have changed world history and saved millions of lives. If only he had 13 more minutes. With 13 minutes more, the bomb, which he personally assembled, would have ripped apart Adolf Hitler and his accomplices. It was not to be, however, and on November 8, 1939, Hitler left the scene of the assassination attempt earlier than expected, causing Elser's plan to fail catastrophically. Who was this man who saw the danger posed by Hitler before many others, who took action when everyone, including the German generals, meekly followed orders or remained silent?
