Britain's Plot to Kill Hitler (1938)

The book "Britain's Plot to Kill Hitler" by Eric Lee says that "Britain had begun toying with how it might kill Hitler in 1938."
Is that possible?
That Britain, a democracy, considered an assassination of a legitimate head of foreign power in peacetime?
And why?

there was a BBC reconstruction on Plot to Kill A H in 1944 ......never went through because the Grofaz blunders were actually helping the Allies...

How did they know that?
German generals said that post-war - that Hitler made costly mistakes and didn't allow them to win the war - but it was unknown earlier.
And it wasn't even true.

Not to mention all the efforts to kill Hitler by the British were highly naive and amateurish...
