    Didn’t Hitler’s generals try to assassinate Hitler?

      Per the book, [former chief of staff] Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president is said to have responded.

        …I’m not used to hearing the word “totally” in an unironic and non-sarcastic context.

      Hitler wasn’t all bad, he did kill Hitler.

      Shame he waited until the end, instead of doing it at the start though.

        I really wish Fascists would just follow their leader in a “We all know where this is going, let’s just skip to the end.” sense

      Yes, pretty sure it may have been multiple times. Rommel was implicated in one of the plots and was why he was forced to commit suicide.
