British intelligence spent much of 1944 planning to kill Adolf Hitler at his Bavarian retreat, the Berghof, and this film reconstructs that scheme from declassified Special Operations Executive files. It follows the plan down to specifics: a sniper positioned along Hitler's daily walking route near the Berghof, the weapons tested for the job, and the identification of the exact moment each day when he was most exposed and least guarded. Historians and intelligence documents lay out why SOE planners believed a rifle shot was more reliable than a bomb, and why the operation was ultimately shelved rather than launched, including the argument that a living Hitler making disastrous military decisions served the Allies better than a martyr. The film also surveys the wider record of failed plots against Hitler, giving Foxley's near-miss its context. Built from archival documents and expert testimony rather than dramatization, it treats an assassination that never happened as seriously as one that did.
