Newly declassified documents have revealed that Britain's security service issued a covert alert in December 1944 warning of a possible Nazi plot to kill members of the Royal Family or Prime Minister Winston Churchill.The intelligence assessment, prepared jointly by MI5 and the Air Ministry, raised fears that Germany could deploy elite airborne troops on English soil with assassination as their objective.This warning came just days after Adolf Hitler launched his unexpected military offensive through the Ardennes forest in Belgium, an assault that would become known as the Battle of the Bulge and caused considerable alarm among Allied forces.According to the intelligence report, the Germans possessed the capability to mount an assault force comprising as many as 500 paratroopers, transported aboard twelve large Junkers Ju 290 aircraft.
