[edit] Anon addition

SOE executives picked an unknown british marksman to go undercover and take the shot. The sniper was to go deep into the forest, and emerge some 300 meters from his target, hitler, who, every morning at 9:00 would walk to the town. His SS guard would trail him at over 70 meters, for Hitler was paranoied about being followed. But the sniper wasnt going to be alone in his mission. A POW that entered the ranks of the SS was now one of Hitler's guards, and therefore, a stream of intel flooded the SOE. The sniper had a clean shot, the escape fool-proof, and all was set. However, a lack of approveall led to the downfall of the dashing plan to end world war two. For more info, you mayt want to watch the history channel, for they have an excellent program about operation foxley.

The above was added by an anon. It might be relevant, but I'm not sure. Could we get confirmation from someone else who has watched said documentary. - Roy Boy ⁸⁰⁰ 15:23, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Documentary

We are told that the program featured a present day analysis by a group of men. What group of men? I think that needs to be more specific somehow. --Hydraton31 18:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed.i removed the phrase "by a group of men". Mujinga 16:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
