Operation Valkyrie: The Disastrous Failure

Since the end of the war people have asked the question
Why didn't the Germans themselves kill Adolph Hitler?
It'd seem so easy, they suggest, to have performed the task
The failures of the German people to kill their own leader
Is taken as being proof that they were somehow complicit
But that is folly, it's easy in hindsight to have perfect vision
Many tried and many failed, many were caught beforehand
A desire to kill him was common, but the ability to kill him?
He was surrounded by security, by military battalions of men
Hitler was indeed paranoid, among his other mental illnesses
But he knew he'd be opposed, even from the beginning
Effort after effort had failed
As the suffering of the people endured
He could've been stopped before Armageddon began
That isn't the way the events of the world played out
But he was not stopped, history has a way of happening
Humans have a way after events of blaming others
Especially when a devil in human form caused war
And the people of all sides were slaughtered
