One of my favourite assassination attempts on Hitler occured on November 8th, 1939 at the Burgerbraukeller, the Munich beer hall fronwhich the Beer Hall Putsch gains its name.

In 1939, an anti-Nazi workman, Georg Elser, concealed a time-bomb in the Bürgerbräukeller, set to go off during Hitler's speech on 8 November. The bomb exploded, killing seven people and injuring sixty-three. But Hitler escaped unharmed: he had cut short his speech and left about half an hour early. Elser was arrested and executed.
What if, instead of leaving early, Hitler had stayed and been killed? How would the Great Patriotic War have been affected?
