A lone wolf almost killed Hitler

In November 1939, a bomb ripped through a crowded Munich beer hall moments after its target walked out the door. The target was Adolf Hitler and he missed death by mere minutes.

The man behind the attack was not a soldier, a politician, or member of a resistance network. He was just a carpenter and he did it all by himself.
