you know..they tried so many times to kill him while in office...a plane he flew in was rigged with a bomb..didnt go off. Von Staffenburgs attempt with a bomb...didnt work. The US office of Strategic Services (OSS) tried to have the type of hormones slipped into his food so he'd have the attributes of a woman...didnt come off.

Face it...the guy was very very lucky.

he was that lucky....
for example a short time after hitlers election, a simple worker tried to kill him. Hitler held every wendesday a speech to his nsdap pals in their traditional party pub. severral weeks this man hid in that pub every day shortly before they closed. he hollowed out the column behind the speakers table a bit more and carried the wood every day out, when the pub opened again the next day. He did that several weeks long, until the hole was big enough to hide a bomb. He put it in and set the time fuse for the next day, a wednesday, when the nsdap usualy had their meeting and hitler would stay directly behinf the bomb.
The fuse failed and the bomb exploded 30min to early.
And there were many other well planned asassinations like that....
want to hear more?

Hitler believed it was "Divine Providence" which kept him alive and that obviously a higher power must want him to live so he can carry out his "mission".

How come no one just whipped out a gun and shot him? (I thought about it and answered it myself.)

Correct if im wrong, but "In WW1 a US soldier had Hilter in his crosshairs, but didnt shoot him because Hilter was only a private then."

I have heard that story to darkmb101. But the one that has stuck with me while reading some books about Hitler was in an assault he was in during WWI he tripped and fell onto the ground and as he fell a bullet passed through his top, right shoulder uniform and hit the man behind him. He then stood up and ran about 10 feet and 2 seconds later a shell hit exactly where he had been. Face it guys, he was a LUCKY man. He survived a mustard gas attack also. Man hes a lucky bastard! He must of had a few 4-leaf clovers :P

I've heard the same story but with a British soldier, who did not shoot Hitler because he was wounded and the British soldier thought it unchivalrous.

Von Staffenburgs' bomb was moved behind an oak table support, which shielded Hitler from the blast.
