Through a combination of luck, constantly changing schedules, and lack of coordination by various plotters Hitler survived at least 15 assassination attempts that we know of. Despite the title, which promises a broader approach, this book treads the well worn path of the best known, but in perhaps the most detail to date. Focusing on the scattered resistance to Nazi dogma and policy in the German Army that started as early as 1933, Fest places the events of July 20, 1944 in context as the culmination of years of failed plans and indecision. Perhaps the most startling aspect is the way that information leaked by various anti-Nazi officers was ignored and mistrusted by the Allied governments, especially in the run-up to, and early stages of, WW2. ( ) Qual è stato l'effettivo svolgimento e il significato storico del clamoroso attentato del 20 luglio 1944 contro il Fuhrer? Che cosa fu realmente e che valore ebbe la resistenza tedesca al nazismo? La catastrofe della sconfitta e il senso di colpa per le atrocità dell'Olocausto hanno finora condizionato la lettura di quella drammatica pagina storica. Joachim Fest, il magistrale biografo di Hitler, ha ricostruito le rocambolesche ·e sfortunate vicende della resistenza contro un regime dai mille occhi, sanguinario e follemente votato al disastro. Raccontando la parabola dei «nemici interni» del regìme nazista, , Obiettivo Hitler (arricchito da un'interessantissima documentazione fotografica) indaga sulle loro motivazioni, nel quadro delle diverse opzioni politiche (ci furono attivi centri di resistenza conservatori, cristiani, socialisti e nelle forze armate) e della situazione storica, con qualche critica alla «sordità» degli inglesi ai segnali di dissenso che venivano dal Reich. Non mancano illuminanti annotazioni sulla personalità dei «congiurati» e in particolare sulle loro coraggiose e laceranti scelte morali: per molti tedescht, e soprattutto per gli ufficiali della Wehrmacht, la ribellione alla follia del tiranno. This is a revealing and frustrating book about the internal German resistance to Hitler throughout the 12 years of the Third Reich. Revealing in that I had not realised how widespread was the opposition to Hitler, frustrating in that that opposition was rarely expressed in any concrete or organised way and fell prey to numerous problems. These included: ideological and practical differences between Hitler's opponents making united action very difficult to achieve; a reluctance to break military oaths of allegiance, often coupled with a mixture of admiration at Germany's territorial gains and horror at some of the methods used to achieve them, especially in Poland and the Soviet Union; unwillingness to oppose Hitler when he was very successful and popular with the German masses; and a philosophical reluctance to use unconstitutional or violent methods of opposition when any other means was clearly no longer relevant. Hitler also had an indecent amount of good luck, for example when a bomb was planted on his plane on a flight in the Soviet Union in March 1943, it simply failed to go off, probably because the heating on the plane failed; then soon afterwards a plot to throw a grenade at him failed because he left suddenly through a side door at an exhibition; and in the famous plot of 20 July 1944, first a second bomb that was available for use and would have almost certainly killed Hitler could not be primed in time because of a phone call at an inopportune moment that the leading plotter Stauffenberg had to answer; and second, the briefcase containing the bomb was placed by chance by someone not involved in the plot on the wrong side of a heavy table leg, thus lessening its impact. On such small chances can history turn; though whether it would have turned is moot, as the Allies were rightly intent on pressing on to unconditional victory and would not have accepted an agreement with a post-Hitler German government at that point (and arguably not at an earlier point as they were, probably less rightly, extremely sceptical about the motives of the German opponents of Hitler and doubtful of their chances of success). A fascinating read. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
