Why were there so many domestic and homegrown assassination attempts against Hitler but literally none for FDR, Churchill, and Stalin? Was xe really that unpopular and bumbling?
>>223569059>but literally none for FDR, Churchill, and Stalin?Wrong premise. Wrong statement. Retarded thread.
There were attempts against Churchill and Stalin. The July 20 plot against Hitler came closer to succeeding because Germany was losing the war, and there were a lot of other Germans who wanted to change course and negotiate a more favorable end to the war. Those 3 Allied countries were never on such a clear path toward total defeat

The Internet says:On February 15, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then president-elect of the United States, survived an assassination attempt while delivering an impromptu speech at night from the back of an open car in Miami, Florida. The would-be assassin, Italian immigrant Giuseppe Zangara, fired five shots with a handgun, injuring four bystanders and mortally wounding Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, who was standing on the running board of the car next to Roosevelt. Zangara's intended target, Roosevelt, was unharmed in the attack.Zangara stated he hated capitalists and all wealthy rulers, blaming them for the economic struggles of the Great Depression and his own chronic abdominal pain.
