Part of the reason hitler was never assassinated was that the allies wanted him alive so he could continue making terrible decisions. Like how the first trump regime was less effective than the current one, because trump was still making some decisions then.

Killing a single person does nothing to change the social conditions that gave them a valid path to power.

He was never successfully assassinated but there were definitely a lot of attempts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler
