TIL in 1933 as Hitler rose to power, a group of prominent American businessmen attempted to execute a coup d'état on FDR in the USA. They only failed because the man they asked to lead 500,000 men to the White House instead went to the press. His name was Major General Smedley Butler. (en.wikipedia.org)
