Killing Hitler - The Many Plots 

My brother once joked that the reason why he survived the bombing at Wolf’s Lair was because the table itself was a devout Nazi that instantly flipped over to sacrifice itself as a blast shield for the Führer

After the assassination of Reinhard Heidreich the Germans went on a rampage against the Czechs killing hundreds of people in revenge killings. It was this event in which the allies stopped assassination attempts on top ranking Nazis because the civilians would pay a heavy price in retaliation.

Please never stop making those dad jokes Johnny. They're gold.

As Mark Felton said, "Hitler had the devil's luck". (Edited: "had" from "has"🤣)

Didn't grandpa Simpson get the iron cross?

Haha, a geography pun at the end. Regarding the attempts to off the moustache guy, I think they grew more serious as Germany started losing the war. He wasn't as big a problem when he was winning, nein?

Wolf mountain in sniper elite 5 is one of the most fun video game missions ever, glad you showed that game. Great video again johnny!

I think we should build a statue for the guy who killed Hitler... wait.

Old joke: Guy appears out of nowhere with a raygun in front of Hitler's office in 1936. SS guards immediately shoot him. 1st guard: Damn. Another one. At least he didn't get to the boss. 2nd guard: Yeah, but do you ever wonder why so many time-travelers keep trying to kill him?

"Long live our sacred Germany"-Claus Von Stauffenberg

04:50 The Polish Home Army actually tried it out. And yes, if not for Hitler's erratic change of plans, they would have succeded in killing him.

If there is one movie scene i want to be real its Little Nicky's Hitler getting a pineapple where the sun don't shine daily

This is on top of all his near death experiences leading up to taking over Germany. It's as if the man had literal plot armor

Say what u will about him, but in the end he did kill Hitler 😅

You needed the clip from The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission where the team sniper had AH in his sights, but the mission was to kill the General standing next to him because he was trying to assassinate Adolf, which would prolong the war.

What I liked about "Valkyrie" is the movie pointed out that killing Hitler was one thing but it was also necessary to have a plan in place to put in a new government right away. The old "20th Century" documentary show with Walter Cronkite had a 2-parter on the plots to kill Hitler. A few episodes are on you-tube.

I am German. Georg Elser was a true Hero to the German people. Because he proofed that a single ordinary individual without any assistance can resist tyranny and change the course of history by his own wits and courage. In opposition to Stauffenberg Elser did not participate in the war of aggresion and Elser was tortured by his captors who let him alive because they did not really believe that he acted alone. In Opposition to Stauffenberg Georg Elser legacy was not credited aftee WW2 even by his own hometown and family because for decades until the war generation paused mostly away because Georg Elsers courage shamed nearly all other Germans because he was so close of killing Hitler and prooved that everybody had a chance to resist which most of my grandparents generation never dare to think about

Just imagine it to be such problem for your own military that you become your enemies asset

If you don’t make at least one Danger 5 reference in this video we riot

The sten gun had a reputation for jamming being cheap can cost you your life

...It borders on Chile

When Hitler had to give a speech in Hamburg, there was always 10 cm thick armored glass in front of him. It's strange that he always continued to drive a convertible.

Wolfenstein 3D brings back such fun memories for me. One of the very first computer games I ever played other than Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Oregon Trail. I would run around each stage hitting every section of exposed wall to try and find all of the secret rooms before moving on to the next level.

As the son of Argentine parents, i had to facepalm over the 'weather' comment. That was a pretty Nazty joke. =P That cuckoo clock...i had to rewatch several times because i could stop laughing! :D

It's good fortune that the game sniper elite 3 specifically had a mission full of silly ways to assassinate Hitler, certainly made for good visuals in this particular video

Isn't it weird how we portray villains in media a little flamboyant. You can see it in this video, especially in sniper elite.

Perfect opening, great timing lmao.

Now, why would I do that?

Great Abe Simpson begining, this secures how awesome these videos start. I recall reading an article on why Vice Yamamoto Isoroku was discovered, and fundamentally killed, because of how punctual he was, which was a stark contrast too Adolf Hitler, which he procrastinated. Great as usual, never a dull moment, continue your best. Take care, and all the best.

can you do a video on the sdkfz 234/2?

Honorable mention to the Avengers third movie and War-Machine doing the "travel back in time and garotte baby Thanos" hand-motion. 😆

Don’t forget: Rogue Male!

8:08 That impeccable French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo in a Nazi uniform. Well, I never …

0:28 After the dozens of failed assassination attempts he showed the amateurs how it's done.

That was your worst but best pun - so far... ! And as always a great informative watch.

3:50 da fa? That scene is in Hey Arnold?!

Honorable mention: Man in the High Castle, Season 1. Standartenführer Rudolph Wegener punked out...Of course, he was about twenty years late for it to matter, so...

That and good use of those parts on the ways Hitler could be assassinated in the video too.

The movie "Goebbels und Geduldig" (2001) was about an Goebbels assassination.

0:21 I love you bro, this is a scene of a french movie i used to watch at my grandma house as a kid 😂

Could you do a video on the weird and wacky weapons/equipment of ww2 that didn’t actually pan out well One is a unique attempt to use rockets instead of parachutes to safely airdrop vehicles and supplies into the warzone And another was a French weapon which was in all reality a stink bomb Or the U.S.’s guided ship bomb that was meant to be piloted by trained pigeons

Spartacus broke down each on his War Against Humanity. AH was full of drugs and suffering from Parkinson's.

I recall there were 40 re 3:50 corded attempts on Hitler's life, including several bomb plots. One was at a Bavarian Beer Cellar and the bomb exploded but Hitler had left the meeting unexpectedly early.

The simpsons scene always gets me lol

There was also one time Hitler was to take a look at some captured Soviet equipment at the Zeughaus armory museum, where a German officer named Henning Von Treskow tried to assassinate Hitler by detonating British clamp mine, the Idea was he would stay as as he could to Hitler until it detonated, blowing everyone and himself in the process

Ah the wonderful world of Johnny....the Simpsons are simply brilliant...cheers...E...

So a video on this guy is monatizable as long as it isn't the real deal? Just confused by youtube who has been dinging documentary type channels just for having clips of speeches.

I had a slim hope we would see some Danger 5 this episode.

Love the sniper elite killcams

There were some plots in the Vatican too. It's better known nowadays after decades of propaganda that Catholic Church officials indeed helped hiding persecuted jews in Rome, despite the threatening german presence. The clandestine operations involved possible attempts too, but understandably given the difficults, nothing went forward. Stauffenberg' was surely the closest of such a would be good riddance. Nice video and great closing comments too.

You mean to tell me,the little mustache man is DEAD? Then who's the guy living in my niebours backyard shed, screaming orders in German, and demanding fresh veggies EVERY EVENING!?

Wolfenstein 3D clip? 10/10!!

Ironic how the best Wolfenstein games (in my opinion, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, The New Order+The Old Blood, and maybe even 2009) actually don't have you meeting, let alone fighting, the guy. Oh, well, at least there's the Brutal Wolfenstein 3D and Blade of Agony fan mods. Was expecting some clips of Justice League's "The Savage Time", from which he was temporarily overthrown and cryo'd by Vandal Savage, but I sure didn't expect Hey Arnold! to appear here. 6:30: Can a bowling pin even do that?! You know, if I were given license to do a "take care of Hitler" time travelling/Multiversal storyline, I'd rather make it a surprisingly kinder and benevolent take. Imagine an undercover operative tasked in becoming his true best friend from childhood to the interbellum years, which may lead to an alternate iteration where he became a happy and philanthropic painter (think the "Golden Ending" for Titanic: Adventure Out of Time) and maybe even becoming an occasional side character (and hopefully even ensemble darkhorse character) when friends of said operative visit this better world in certain other story arcs; he could be one who joyously serves out really good homemade coffee and sausages, the guy.

That 1943 study's conclusion: Hold up. Let him cook!

0:21 5:05 Geoffrey Household's Rogue Male should at least get a honourable mention. Because it's the first literary plot to kill Hitler that inspired one of the real plots, operation Foxley 0:39 oh, the better Stauffenberg movie finally got some recognition.

It really does seen like he had some divine protection.

Tom Cruise look similarly to claus von stauffenberg

i loved that pun at the end lmao

The background footage on this vid was perfect 10/10, also Chile??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i am into that, never stop

9:37 these strike animations at the bowling alley are getting way out of hand

Could you please make a video about late 19 century military sabers in movies? I do HEMA and study classic (second half 19 century) military saber, but unlike with rapiers or, per say, katanas, I can't recall any movies in which they would be famously or realistically featured, which is a little sad bacuse it's nice to assiciate yourself with your favourite movie hero sometimes. Could you help me out with that? So far I can only remember it being in the first battle of The last Samurai movie.

You left out the one SUCCESSFUL attempt, by Brad Pitt's team in Paris in 1944. I notice there were clips from Quentin Tarantino's documentary on it but no mention of the event.

Don’t forget t when the 8th air-force tried to bomb him into oblivion

Very droll Mr. Johnson. Very droll.

You forgot the shot from Danger 5 with him dodging machineguns & jumping out a window

Along with I can agree really doubt Hitler could flee to Argentina either.

It got to a point where leaving him alive was more of a hindrance to the German war effort than killing him

Sebastian Koch = a great actor.

Last time someone kill Hitler, the allies had to fight tooth and nail against Stalin.

he showed all those plotters how its done

Interesting topics about Fidel Castro's assignation attempts next

Came for the history stayed for the end of video dad jokes

Very disappointing that you didn't use any footage from Danger 5.

Me: *casually listening* Johnny: "Hitler died of suicide April 30th 1945 at the age of 56 in his bunker in Berlin. However, in the real world..." Me: "Go on..."

I’m disappointed you didn’t use any scenes from the show Danger 5. Every briefing the team got ended with “and for God’s sake kill Hitler!” And every episode ended with Hitler escaping by diving through a window.

I'm not buying the idea that Hitler's decicisions were bordering on bonkers. It's in the victor's interest to paint their enemy as evil, stupid and mad. Napoleon wasn't short either. He was slightly above average height, around 1,69 m, it is believed.

not enough comments here talking about the bowling pin. lmao

No danger 5 reference in the intro boo

Why you done fucked up for $2000 Alex. Daily double!

Now for Hitler's Communist counterpart also known for insignificant survival... Fidel Castro

I remember, ages ago there was a PC game when you "erased" Hitler's memory, so he was just a regular amna. But the Soviet Union was a menace in exchange

AA chill out with the with the puns ❤❤❤❤❤

Don't die, yet

In the end the only man that successfully assassinated Hitler was Hitler.

Von stauffenberg was framed

What is the game at the end called? 💪🇺🇸👍

If you were an actor who plays as Adolf, what would you do someone sees you with that face in public?

History lesson: not all German Nazis were bad. As history depicted.

All this luck is proff that time travelers killed hitler, then the resultant future was even worse and try to fix it saving hitler from their own assesination attemps

Personally I think AH wasn't all that insane, just VERY evil and outright dumb/incompetent. Let's not dismiss evil as being the result of insanity instead of resulting from other things, such as an evil ideology. It should also be mentioned that AH's generals weren't exactly the best military leaders themselves and that dismissing AH as insane kind of makes it sound like he isn't responsible for the evil actions he did/ordered.

How did this get posted before the trump attempted assassination

he died in argentina..

I am disappointed in you, this video was a perfect opportunity to show Professor Farnsworth shooting Hitler with his ray gun as they traveled through time but you totally missed the chance!🤣🤣🤣

Surprised no footage of Inglourious Basterds (2009), since it was a giant Hollywood wank-fest about this exact subject. And those punch-guns were kino.

just saying, if no body was found. did they actually turn out the way history says? usually not.

YES

Hitler survived so much!

The real heros were the ones who tried to kill him before he started WW2.

Hitler always rants himself alot when dreaming, but spooked the boogeyman. Crazy.

Correction He Died At The Age Of 57
