    Fun fact: If Elser had succeeded in killing Hitler in 1938, it is quite likely that everybody would think of him as a villain and Hitler would be considered a great statesman, killed before he could fulfill his destiny. Maybe everybody would say: If just that evil man had not killed Hitler in 1938, thereby making room for Goebels, WWII could have been avoided...

    Wanderer 505 agreed. One example of this is during Operation Barbarossa (invasion of the Soviet Union) Hitler wanted to take the rich oil fields in the south near Stalingrad, knowing this would cripple their army due to lack of oil. However, his generals wanted to keep pushing towards Moscow, hoping a surrender would come after they took the city. Hitler ignored them and tried to take the oil, but to be fair he did make an idiotic decision while trying to take the oil fields that didn't quite lose him the war but defintely helped the allies.

    Elser deserves his own movie and reverence way much more than Stauffenberg. Stauffenberg and his fellows were military officers and they only tried the coup in 1944, when it was all very late anyway and millions already had died. They were opportunists, if the Wehrmacht had won the Russian campaign, they would have sided with Hitler. But Elser was serious about stopping Hitler from the getgo.

If Elser attempted the assassination before Poland then maybe it would've worked

    Wow thank you for this. Everyday on my way to work, I pass the statue of Georg Elser at the train station of Königsbronn. Its a life sized figure made from rusted metal, waiting at the Plattform for his train to Munich. He is holding a briefcase with sticks of dynamite sticking out. The memorial has only been put up a few years ago as people arround here are still kind of split in wether to regard him as a hero or a terrorist that needlessly killed people. For me, he's a hero. He came closer then anyone else to killing hilter and changing the course of history, and he wasn't a nazi like many of the more well known conspirators. I think what he did took a lot of bravery, and he had more foresight then most other people in our small community. I think it's important to stand up to tyranny and fascism, and I'm glad I'm reminded of this spirit on my commute. There's also a small museum, if anyone is every in the south of Germany and wants to know more.

    How are people on the internet getting triggered by one political joke from a person who is probably not even particularly interested in their politics and is just making a joke? And how are others "agreeing" with the joke? Eastory has not made his opinion about American politics known, so the joke can be either a comparison of Trump to Hitler or a pointing-out of the presumed idiocy of the claims, making it funny to both sides of the political spectrum {so it's a good joke.} That is my explanation, now please stop arguing about American politics.

    People should read the Wiki on Georg Elser. Despite his modest and difficult upbringing he was skilled in music, carpentry, and invention. His faith was in the common person. The mechanism for his bomb so evolved that it was turned into a manual by the gestapo due to its capabilities. His story also outlines the intense desire of the Nazi's to ignore the simple truth Elser told them, despite constant torture, to get him to "confess" to a story Hitler had invented. It's a study in contrasting psychologies. One Nazi who had interrogated Elser wrote: "You know what Elser's problem was? This man of the people loved ordinary people; he laid out for me passionately and in simple sentences how, for the masses in all countries, war means hunger, misery, and the death of millions. Not a pacifist in the usual sense, his reasoning was quite simplistic: Hitler is war-and if he goes, there will be peace..."

    I'd heard of this story before but not in such detail, it's strange & unjust that Elser isn't more celebrated, he acted alone with with a determination & ability to overcome all the difficulties he faced & unlike the 1944 conspirators whom waited until the Reich was facing collapse, Elser attempted to prevent conflict.

    I only recently discovered Georg Elser when I happened to catch a late night broadcast (when else) of the English subtitled German film 13 minutes. When you consider what this one man managed to achieve without any outside help at all, whilst living in a totalitarian police state, is both extraordinary and also alarming. His name and what he attempted and his reasons for doing it should be common knowledge but unfortunately aren’t. Thank you for making this video.

    sometimes, the comments are as interesting as the videos.... i wasnt aware of this story so thanks for posting it. i think whats interesting is that we are all looking at this with the benefit of hindsight and knowing what happened in ww2. had it not happened, this man might be judged differently. i believe there is some research going on in to predicting pre-crime, a-la the film the minority report, but using Artificial intelligence, rather than 3 mystics. i am not sure of the ethics of convicting people of stuff they havent yet done. i mean who hasnt had a bad thought ever, but it doesnt mean you act it out.... you can argue that you might save millions of lives, but you might equally be introducing a system to condemn innocent people ( which ironically is the thing you are trying to stop).
