Plots to kill Hitler, whether based on true events or not, are familiar fodder for filmmakers, but Oliver Hirschbiegel’s forthcoming Georg Elser will focus more on the would-be assassin than the target. The film will tell the story of how the titular Elser rigged a bomb near a podium where the Führer was set to deliver a lengthy speech in the fall of 1939. The bomb detonated, but it went off 13 minutes after the speech had ended, killing eight non-Hitlers. Elser was subsequently arrested, interrogated, tortured, and sent to a concentration camp, where he was executed six years later.
