《国家地理：42次刺杀希特勒》最特别之处在于它没有像常见二战纪录片那样聚焦“7·20密谋”或“狼穴爆炸”，而是系统梳理了从1921年到1944年间足有42次未遂的暗杀尝试。影片没有停留在简单的“功败垂成”叙事，而是细致呈现了每场行动前的情报搜集、装备准备和决断时刻。旁白Erik Thompson的声音冷静得近乎冷酷，配合Arlo Hemphill等专家对每次行动“到底哪里出了岔子”的抽丝剥茧，反而让那些临时改路线、迟到几分钟、炸弹哑火的意外变得比虚构剧本更揪心。适合对“如果历史改写”有执念的二战迷，以及厌倦了英雄叙事、想看看历史到底多荒诞的观众。适合对二战史有好奇心、喜欢看失败行动而非胜利叙事的观众，尤其适合那些厌倦了“删减版历史”、想了解刺杀行动背后政治算计与人性挣扎的人。本片像翻开一本布满灰尘的绝密档案，逐次还原那些失败的瞬间——炸药没响、计划临时取消、刺杀者临阵退缩……每一次都让历史差一点转向。

　　Over sixty years after the end of World War II, recently declassified documents and contemporary experiments offer insight into a multitude of attempts at assassinating one of the most feared and despised dictators of the 20th Century. As the Nazi war machine spread terror and death across Europe, there were at least forty-two documented plots to kill Adolf Hitler and bring his regime crumbling to the ground. But who were the men that offered to lay their own lives on the line for the sake of killing one of history's most despised tyrants, and just how did they plan on accomplishing such a formidable feat? In this documentary, the filmmakers at National Geographic offer detailed insight into the forty-two assassination plots that may have altered the course of history had they actually succeeded. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
