English summary: For a long time, lies and legends have altered the view of Georg Elser. Today, he stands alongside others in the first line of the resistance against Hitler. In autumn 1938, Elser decided to commit a bomb attack on Hitler. On 8th November 1939, he made an assassination attempt in the Munich Burgerbraukeller. This book tells the life story of Georg Elser against the background of this failed assassination attempt that would have changed the world. It shows his motives, the preparations and the consequences of the attack - and it shows a steadfast opponent of Hitler, who was only belatedly adequately recognised in post-war Germany. German description: Lange Zeit haben Lugen und Legenden den Blick auf Georg Elser verstellt. Heute steht er zusammen mit Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg und anderen in der ersten Reihe des Widerstands gegen Hitler. Im Herbst 1938 hatte Elser, der von Anfang an ein entschiedener Gegner der Nationalsozialisten war, den Entschluss gefasst, einen Bombenanschlag auf Hitler zu veruben. Am 8. November 1939 verubte er ein Attentat im Munchener Burgerbraukeller, doch Hitler entkam. Dieses Buch erzahlt die Lebensgeschichte Georg Elsers vor dem Hintergrund dieses gescheiterten Attentats, das die Welt verandert hatte. Es zeigt seine Motive, die Vorbereitungen und die Folgen des Anschlags - und es zeigt einen unbeirrbaren Hitlergegner, der im Nachkriegsdeutschland erst spat angemessen gewurdigt wurde.… (more)
