Who came closest to killing Hitler?

There were dozens, but here’s a funny moment:

In 1942, a conspirator decided to blow himself up together with Hitler and his entourage.  At the last minute, he must have had problems with nerves and found himself pissing in the bathroom.

He got locked in.

So, furiously, he tried to defuse the bomb he made before it blew off (it was already activated).

Dictators who were overthrown either have the sympathy of the new strongman, or have entered ill health as to no longer be held accountable for their crimes… In record, I can count maybe one or two who were actually tried and executed for atrocities…

 

The Fatal Flaw of Western Democracies

There are currently three forms of Democracies existing now, each with their specific flaws. The United States model stands out; yet, is all really as it seems? Here, then, is the first part of the “Searching for Democracy” series.
