Killing Hitler

Movie-thriller action combines with fact to portray the Allies' plan to take Hitler's life. Operation Foxley, the top secret plan hatched by the British in June 1944 to assassinate Adolf Hitler, outlined various options for Hitler's execution at his Berghof estate in the Bavarian Alps. Now for the first time on TV we'll find out if such a plan could have worked and, crucially, discover what it really would have been like for the agents. Extensive research and a top cast recreate Operation Foxley in a factually accurate programme that recalls Where Eagles Dare-style cinema. (official distributor synopsis)
