Chance in Hitler's Life

Chance In Hitler’s early life: It is intriguing to see how many assassination attempts Hitler escaped just for him to kill himself at the end. One of the odd ironies of life. Hitler survived over 26 assassination attempts! Here are some of the most quirky ones: 1. Hermann Henning Karl Robert von Tresckow convinced an aide of Hitler’s that he had lost a bet and needed the aide to deliver the “bottles” as the prize to the winner. The package was safely stowed away on the plane and, with Hitler on board, the plane took off to Berlin. Unfortunately, the bomb fuse failed during the flight. 2. In 1929, a dissatisfied SS guard plotted to kill Hitler during a speech in what was then the biggest hall in Berlin, the Sportpalast. The plan was to activate the bomb during Hitler’s speech. Knowing his speeches lasted for hours, the guard excused himself to go to the bathroom to prepare himself for the task. It was here that cruel fate stepped in. As the guard was trying to exit the bathroom, he found the door was stuck, and he was locked in. 3. Axel Freiherr von dem Bussche-Streithorst decided to carry out a suicide bombing that would kill Hitler in the process. Bussche managed to take a role as a male model. His plan was to stuff as many explosives down his pants and then, when Hitler walked by, Bussche would hug him and detonate his deadly package. But the British bombed the train that was transporting the soon-to-be exploding pants. If only the British either missed the train, or somehow knew of the plan, Bussche would have succeeded in hugging Hitler to death.
