I too have noticed that the German military only turned to the idea of assassinating Hitler after they started losing. There was no conspiracy against Hitler when they were winning in Poland, France, and the low countries.
A much more heroic attempt against Hitler’s life happened in 1939 when a handyman named Johann Elser built a bomb and planted it at the beerhall where Hitler had launched his fail putsch attempt in the 1920s. Hitler made an appearance at the beerhall, but left 12 minutes before the bomb exploded. Elser was arrested and tortured for six years before being executed.
There were other attempts on Hitler’s life that were not simply based on the fact that he was losing the war.
