Foxley行动是温斯顿·丘吉尔支持的1944-1945年暗杀希特勒的秘密计划的名称。这个暗杀计划在构思了75多年后，仍然笼罩在神秘之中。埃里克·李（Eric Lee）的新书是艰苦研究的产物，对这个计划有了更多的了解。李还问如果Foxley被成功处决会发生什么。
福克斯利于1944年由英国特种作战执行官（SOE）炮制，其目标是杀死希特勒和当时可能在场的任何高级纳粹分子或元首随从。
国企曾考虑过不同的暗杀方法，但最终被认为过于复杂。这些方法包括用爆炸物使希特勒的私人火车“元首座”脱轨并被摧毁，还包括秘密手段，如向希特勒的饮用水和烹饪水中注入无味的毒药。其中一些想法被认为相当奇怪，包括一个催眠鲁道夫·赫斯并将其送回德国杀害纳粹领导人的计划。美国和苏联也有自己的计划要杀死希特勒，有一些同样奇怪的想法（包括在元首的蔬菜中注射雌性激素）。
最终，在收集到的情报显示希特勒每天早上从伯格霍夫住所到穆斯拉赫内科普夫山上的蒂豪斯进行例行的、单独的散步后，一项计划被制定出来，用一支装有消音器的狙击步枪刺杀希特勒。
对于喜欢阅读现代史，尤其是第二次世界大战的读者来说，这是一个完美的调查。它还为那些对“秘密战争”感兴趣的人量身定制，涵盖国企和军事情报等主题。
Britain’s Plot to Kill Hitler: The True Story of Operation Foxley and SOE
Operation Foxley was the name of the secret plan supported by Winston Churchill to assassinate Hitler in 1944-45. More than 75 years after its conception, the assassination plan remains shrouded in mystery. Eric Lee’s new book is the product of painstaking research and sheds more light on this plan. Lee also asks what would have happened if Foxley had been executed successfully.
Concocted in 1944 by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), Foxley’s objective was to kill Hitler and any high-ranking Nazis or members of the Fuhrer’s entourage who might have been present at the time.
Different methods of assassination had been considered by the SOE, but were ultimately deemed too complicated. These methods included derailment and destruction of the Hitler’s personal train, the Fuhrerzug, by explosives, and also clandestine means such as slipping a tasteless poison into Hitler’s drinking and cooking water. Some of the ideas were considered quite bizarre, including one scheme to hypnotise Rudolf Hess and return him to Germany to kill Nazi leaders. The Americans and Soviets had their own plans to kill Hitler too, with some equally strange ideas (including injecting female hormones into the Fuhrer’s vegetables).
Eventually, after intel gathered revealed that Hitler took a routine, solitary walk every morning to the Teehaus on the Mooslahnerkopf Hill from the Berghof residence, a plan was created to assassinate Hitler using a sniper rifle fitted with a silencer.
A perfect investigation for readers who enjoy reading about modern historyl, and the Second World War in particular. It is also tailored to those with an interest in the “secret war”, covering topics like the SOE, and military intelligence.
