Why Hitler Was Impossible To Kill

A heavily modified Mercedes 770K is speeding towards the Reich Chancellory. Inside sits Adolf Hitler, escorting him to the critical meeting is his elite security convoy. But what they don't realize is that straight ahead is a deadly trap. A woman is hiding a weapon in her stroller. Nearby, a sniper lies concealed in the bushes.

However, this [music] is not the only attack that's waiting. Along the route, a man waits beneath a bridge with a molotov. Further on, a bomb sits buried beneath the road. And finally, a heavy machine gun used against low-flying planes is hidden within a delivery van. During the war, Hitler's car was never actually
