Fear Scrapped a Plan to Assassinate Hitler

Baby Hitler has been one of the most well-liked thought experiments of the previous century. Would you murder Adolf Hitler as a child if you could go back in time? This was mentioned in Deadpool as well. People debate the subject from both sides. But that is only a theory. What about the times when we had the chance to murder Hitler? Why did that never occur? Because no one ever came up with the notion, it wasn't. A plan existed, but it was abandoned out of fear.

Operation Foxley was one of the schemes floated during the war to eliminate Hitler. Winston Churchill supported it, and even though the logistics were challenging to figure out, the proposal appeared to be rather straightforward on paper. A sniper would be dispatched to the Bavarian Alps, where Hitler used to retreat to when things became too much. He was known to go for daily walks, so the sniper would only target him while he was walking.

Out of concern for what would occur next, the plan was never carried out. Hitler was thought by the Allies to be a very poor strategist, and that many of their victories were due to his poor leadership of his own army. They worried that Hitler's demise would allow for the election of a more capable leader, which would swing the war's momentum against the Allies.
