List of assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler
"All attempts occurred in the German Reich, except where noted. All attempts involved citizens of the German Reich, except where noted. No fewer than 42 plots have been uncovered by historians.[2] However, the true number cannot be accurately determined due to an unknown number of undocumented cases."List of assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler - Wikipedia
And the main problem is that he has nukes - But appease him like Chamberlain appeased Hitler and you can expect the same results - He will not stop with the Ukraine.

That's interesting to speculate about and I agree but I think the political reality of the time made early direct confrontation extremely unlikely. After a decade of global depression nobody was really in a position to challenge them. All things considered, the one actor on stage at the time that stood the best chance in thwarting them was France. It's a whole different conversation as to why. I used to hear a lot of nonsense about 'I'll make you a good deal on a French rifle. Never been fired and only dropped once' Their fault lay in leadership and tactics. properly led and organized they should theoretically have been able to hold their own.
Big difference today though. At the time nobody could confront Nazi Germany's military strength. Now it's quite the opposite; it's obvious that the West has overwhelming quantitative, qualitative and organizational superiority. We could have quite literally turned that **** off in short order and ended it. Years ago the Russians were aghast that Iraq's state of the art defenses were so easily overwhelmed since they had been their primary supplier of advanced weaponry.
Nuclear weapons are the great equalizer and frankly, there isn't much to be done about it. I don't know what an effective deterrent to that would look like.
