November 8, 1939-Failed assassination attempt.

On November 8, 1939, Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in Munich. The attempt took place in the Bürgerbräukeller, a popular beer hall where he annually commemorated the anniversary of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, an early failed coup that Hitler had led in an attempt to seize power in Germany. The bomb was planted by Georg Elser, a German carpenter and anti-Nazi who was acting…

Today, Nov 8th, is the anniversary of the failed assassination of Adolf Hitler. Did you know that? In 1939 Georg Elser tried to blow up Hitler, Göring and Goebbles with a time bomb in Bürgerbräukeller Munich (the same where the failed putch in 1923 took place). The bomb worked perfectly, but due to a change in plan the intended targets left early. 7 other nazis and one waitress died, more than 50 injured. The blast was audible through the live radio broadcast.

Georg Elser was caught, tortured and imprisoned without trial. On April 9th 1945 he was murdered in Dachau concentration camp. He was 42.

He had worked alone.

It could have all ended then and there.

When we remember Kristallnacht 1938 tomorrow, think of that brave, lonely man who tried to stop it all.

Punch a nazi and pour one out for Georg Elser.

Gaurko egunez 1939an, duela 85 urte, Adolf Hitler hiltzen saiatu zen Georg Elser Munichen. Urtero egun eta leku berean egiten zen ospakizun bat baliatuz, jatetxe bateko zutabe batean lehergailuak jarri zituen, Hitlerrek hitzaldia eman ohi zuen lekutik gertu. Hitzaldia bukatu eta gutxira egin zuen eztanda ordea, eta Hitler 11 minuturengatik salbatu zen. Elser gau hartan bertan atxilotu zuten, eta 1945ean Dachauko kontzentrazio esparrura bidali.

Today in 1939, 85 years ago, Georg Elser tried to kill Adolf Hitler in Munich. Taking advantage of a celebration that took place on the same day and place every year, he planted explosives on a column of a restaurant, near where Hitler used to give speeches. However, shortly after the end of the speech, it exploded, and Hitler was saved for 11 minutes. Elser was arrested that very night, and sent to the Dachau concentration camp in 1945.

Happy anniversary to George Elser’s attempted 1939 assassination of Adolf Hitler. Elser, a carpenter, over the course of a year devised and implemented a plan to detonate a time-bomb in the pillar behind Hitler during his annual commemorative speech of the beer hall putsch. Had he not unexpectedly cut his planned two hour speech short by an hour, the detonation would have surely killed him. Elser seems to have acted alone, undetected, and was subsequently imprisoned until close to the end of the war in the hopes of staging a show trial, before his summary execution instead once Germany’s defeat was imminent

May we all be so courageous and resourceful when the opportunity presents itself

On this day, 9 April 1945, Georg Elser, a factory worker and folk musician who tried single-handedly to kill Hitler, was murdered in the Dachau concentration camp. Working in a weapons factory and then a quarry, he gradually built up an arsenal of stolen explosives, which in 1939 he planted in a pub in Munich, which he knew Hitler visited every year on 8 and 9 November to celebrate the Nazi putsch of 1923. Unbeknownst to Elser, that year Hitler left early and the bomb missed him by minutes, instead killed six senior Nazis, as well as accidentally a waitress. Elser was later arrested and tortured, but insisted he acted alone and refused to give up any other names, other than one of a communist who had already died. He was sent to the concentration camps, where he was killed on the orders of Himmler just a few days before their liberation.

I had a history lesson in 10th grade discussing how things might have gone if Georg Elser (Google him!) would have been successful…

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE IN NOVEMBER so your grandkids won’t have to have lessons like that about today!!!

[ruby-red-inky-blue]

I've only ever seen 'you get to kill one person as a baby' alternative history polls, but I think there's a more interesting version so let's play 'change one event in history'! (Go for what you think would do the most good or what would be the most chaotic choice. It's a thought experiment we're not the morals police!)

Very brief (and grossly oversimplified!) explanations under the cut.

unfortunately my education has been very eurocentric and I'm pretty hopeless at the nuances of history pre-19th century; this is as diverse as i could make it (which is not very diverse at all). Please feel free to add in the tags!

1) This assassination set WW1 in motion (triggered/enabled the first declaration of war)

2) Emmanuel de Grouchy was a general in Napoléon's army. Before the Battle of Waterloo he'd been given the order to cut off the Prussian General Blücher, but Blücher had already got to the battlefield so de Grouchy went off on a pointless search with his 40-50k soldiers instead of joining the battle, which many consider a significant reason for Napoléon's defeat.

3) i.e., make trouble after Columbus leaves for America but before he arrives there.

4) Georg Elser attempted to set off a bomb during a Hitler speech at a beer hall. (There were other attempts on Hitler's life both before and after this, I just picked this one). The explosion failed to kill Hitler as he had moved his speech up half an hour and was gone by the time the bomb went off. It killed seven Nazis and a waitress. Elser was arrested, sent to a concentration camp and murdered days before its liberation at the end of the war. This has nothing to do with the question, I just hate that everyone only knows about the Stauffenberg one.

5) This position allowed Stalin to pick functionaries for key positions in the Soviet Union and thus pave his way to becoming Lenin's successor.

6) likely preventing the USA from creating a functional atomic bomb before the end of the war.

7) Günter Schabowski held the famous press conference which communicated the GDR's intention to allow East German citizens to cross into West Germany again without having to apply for government permission. Asked when this would come into effect, Schabowski replied, visibly uncertain, "to my knowledge, that is immediately. Right away". This led to crowds overwhelming the Berlin border crossings. The officers stationed there had received orders to mark the passports of all those crossing with a stamp that would barr them from re-entry into the GDR, but did not uphold this and instead simply opened the barrier as they feared violence would break out. This became the night the Berlin Wall fell.

8) The battle was a huge deal for German propaganda both at the time and later on and made especially Hindenburg a war hero, but I mostly picked it because I figure it'd be easiest to get them both at once during a battle. Both men were central to the decisions the German Empire made in WW1 (to such a degree that people have argued they effectively led the country) and both played a role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power: Ludendorff lent his credibility and fame to Hitler's Munich Beer Hall putsch in 1922, and Hindenburg went on to become the last president of Weimar Germany and appointed Hitler chancellor in 1933.

Oh goodness. Danielle Elser (journalist who writes for news.com.au) has written an article criticizing Catherine for not being at the whole service or whatever event followed the service. Very detailed article about why Kate should have been there because the RF has to work hard to make amends in light of recent events that put the RF in a bad light. She said this is more important than taking George to an oboe lesson. I really do hope she’s pregnant. What will she say then?

https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/kate-middleton-going-missing-after-commonwealth-service-is-a-bad-look/news-story/d4673b319d2d898932244f8efb817a5d

Inside the Abbey, Kate managed not to yawn, fidget or check that eBay auction she has been watching, before greeting some small children on the way out. This was some textbook princess-ing if ever we’ve seen it.

And then … Poof! The lady vanishes.

After the service, King Charles, Camilla, Princess Anne, her husband Sir Tim Laurence, Prince William and the newly elevated Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh all trooped back to Buckingham Palace for the Commonwealth reception. Imagine a lot of high commissioners clutching glasses of orange juice waiting nervously to take their turn to make 30 seconds of small talk with the King about that one bit of the service where the organ really got going.

However, conspicuously absent from all the polite chitchat was Kate, despite a press release having previously said she would be attending.

With no official word about her no-show, the current theories are that her inclusion in the release was a mistake or that she left to pick up her three young HRHs from their Windsor school, Lambrook.

But … do we really buy either?

Firstly, does a well-oiled and experienced press machine like the Palace make admin mistakes? (Maybe cost-cutting measures have gotten such that courtiers have started letting work experience kids have a go on the Commodore 64 they use to crank out the official missives …)

Secondly, the Waleses have a nanny, aides, and probably more staff than a Fiji-bound P&O cruise ship, not to mention that her parents live nearby to their home, Adelaide Cottage. Someone else could clearly have picked up Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and their piles of maths homework. (‘Finnigan can only invite 12 friends along to his hunting weekend. If they will drink three bottles of Jägermeister each, how many buckets will his butler need to get in?’)

Sure, Kate’s desire to perpetually do the school run is admirable and all, but that does not change the fact that her priorities in this instance are really quite off.

And that's just from Australia.

Just wait until the UK tabs start going on this and the general low number of engagements.

¿Por qué nadie jamás asesinó a Adolf Hitler de la misma manera que John F. Kennedy? ¿No hubo suficientes oportunidades, especialmente porque Hitler viajaba a menudo en multitudes y vehículos abiertos? ¿Por qué?

Hitler podría haber muerto, pero hacía una cosa que Kennedy nunca hacía:

Hitler sabía que su vida corría peligro mucho mejor que Kennedy. Hitler era imprevisible y no confiaba solo en el personal de seguridad de la SS. Hitler cambiaba su agenda repentinamente y cambiaba las rutas para ir a los lugares.

Pese a todo, hubo muchos intentos de acabar con su vida. Aquí te dejo los dos más interesantes:

"Atentado del 20 de julio de 1944": Un grupo de oficiales militares alemanes trataron de detonar una bomba durante una reunión en el cuartel general de Hitler. Stauffenberg, un militar, colocó una maleta con una bomba debajo de la mesa de la sala de conferencias donde se celebraría la reunión con Hitler. Sin embargo, debido a un giro inesperado de los acontecimientos, la maleta fue movida por una persona.. Aunque la bomba detonó, Hitler sufrió solo heridas leves.

"Atentado del 8 de noviembre de 1939", perpetrado por un carpintero llamado Georg Elser. Elser colocó una bomba improvisada en la cervecería Bürgerbräukeller en Múnich, donde Hitler solía hacer discursos anuales. Sin embargo, debido a un cambio en la agenda de Hitler abandonó el evento más temprano de lo esperado. La bomba explotó después de su partida y Hitler salió ileso.

Así quedó la cervecería tras la explosión:

Hitler se preocupaba por su seguridad y no la dejaba solo en manos de los demás.

David Frankfurter Denkmal #1 Entstehungsgeschichte, Aktion in Davos & Digitales Denkmal März 2022 - Mai 2022

Bitte klicken sie auf auf PLAY um die Gedanken von Johannes Lortz zu hören, der über die Hintergründe erzählt von der Entstehung und Entwicklung des David Frankfurter Denkmals. Scrollen sie dann selbstständig über den Beitrag und folgen den Stimmen. (Host: Sama Schwarz)

Photocredit: Helen Lagger

Johannes Lortz ist Performer, Flaneur, Aktivist und auch ein eigenwilliger bildender Künstler. Seine Kunstprojekte haben oft eine soziale Dimension und bringen Menschen unterschiedlichsten Alters und Herkunft zusammen. Formal inspirieren ihn die Konstruktivisten, wie etwa Kasimir Malewitsch (1878-1935), der mit seinem ikonischen Schwarzen Quadrat in die Kunstgeschichte eingegangen ist. Selbst an die Macht der Bilder glaubend, hat Lortz ikonische Gesichter in mit Klebestreifen entwickelte Raster gepresst. Statt den Pinsel nutzt er dazu ein Feuerzeug, er malt nämlich mit Russ und lässt so verstorbene Persönlichkeiten – wie Phönix aus der Asche – wiederauferstehen: Lou Reed, Anais Nin, Rosa Luxemburg, Marguerite Duras oder Frankenstein gehören zu seinem eigens kreierten Pantheon.

In April 1945, with German defeat imminent, the Nazis' intention of staging a show trial over the Bürgerbräukeller bombing had become futile. Hitler ordered the execution of special security prisoner "Eller" — the name used for Elser in Dachau — along with Wilhelm Canaris, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and others who had plotted against him.[12] The order, dated 5 April 1945, from the Gestapo HQ in Berlin, was addressed to the Commandant of the Dachau concentration camp, SS-Obersturmbannführer Eduard Weiter.

The order came into the possession of Captain S. Payne Best in May 1945, and appeared in Best's book, The Venlo Incident.[12] That part of the order relating to Elser reads:

The question of our prisoner in special protective custody, 'Eller', has also again been discussed at highest level. The following directions have been issued: On the occasion of one of the next Terror Attacks on Munich, or, as the case may be, the neighbourhood of Dachau, it shall be pretended that 'Eller' suffered fatal injuries. I request you therefore, when such an occasion arises to liquidate 'Eller' as discreetly as possible. Please take steps that only a few people, who must be specially pledged to silence, hear about this. The notification to me regarding the execution of this order shall be something like:

'On ... caused by a Terror Attack (air raid) on ... the prisoner in protective custody 'Eller' was fatally wounded.'

After noting the contents and carrying out the orders contained in it, destroy this letter.

The signature on the order was illegible, according to Best.[12]

In his 1947 book, To The Bitter End, Hans Bernd Gisevius commented on the order:

When the Gestapo men killed on their own account or on the direct orders of Himmler, they did not require such complicated instructions and Hitler's orders for the liquidation of unwanted persons were not usually phrased in so tactful a manner ... (With his own end in sight) Hitler suddenly recalled the existence of 'the Zither player'; and fearfully, as if possessed by a sudden and inexplicable shame, this murderer of millions attempted to conceal his execution of an assassin who had long since been forgotten by the world public.[13]

On 9 April 1945, four weeks before the end of the war in Europe, Georg Elser was shot dead and his fully dressed body immediately burned in the crematorium of Dachau Concentration Camp.[14] He was 42 years old.

In 1954, SS-Oberscharführer Theodor Bongartz, the man in charge of the crematorium at Dachau, was determined to have been the murderer of Georg Elser, during a German court proceeding in which SS-Unterscharführer Edgar Stiller was on trial as an accessory to murder. As the SS man in charge of the special prisoners at Dachau from 1943 to 1945, Stiller was accused of escorting Elser to the crematorium where he was allegedly shot by Bongartz.[citation needed] Theodor Bongartz was not brought to account as he had died of an illness in 1945.[3]

[ad_1] ‘Petty jealousies’ Prince William ‘stopping traffic’: ‘Game, set, match’Experts have just referenced Prince William’s ability to stop traffic in spite of Prince Harry’s attempts to paint a worse picture. Insights into this have been brought to light by royal commentator Daniela Elser. She weighed in on all these things, in a piece for News.com.au. The piece referenced Prince William’s time in the US and reads, “George III would be so happy this week.”Because “he closed out his years ambling about the Windsor Great Park, his marbles long gone, and having managed to lose the new world to those upstart Americans who thought they could run the show themselves.”“But now, nearly 200 years later, his great great great great grandson has just managed to do what he could not: To retake, re-win and re-conquer America,” and “he didn’t even need to bring his red coat.”For those unversed, these claims have come in response to Prince William’s 24-hour visit to NYC for a meeting with United Nations Secretary General António Guterres.All of this allegedly happened nearly four years after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “staked out the States as their patch, the land of the ‘free’ and living one’s truth.” At that point, there came “his big brother to blot out the sun. Game, set, match, day, week, month, year: William.”Before concluding Ms Elser also slipped in a sly jibe against Prince Harry and said, “Rather than being reviled by Americans, Harry having told the world about his older sibling’s wilful destruction of a dog bowl and petty jealousies of his beard, here was the Prince of Wales literally stopping traffic, having the red carpet rolled out at the UN and delighting grade-schoolers.” [ad_2]
