Yes, I'm well aware of the plots against Hitler. Even before the war , in 1938 an attempt was made on his life at the Burgerbrau Keller in Munich. But after his speech Hitler left the hall soon after and missed being killed. It always occurred to me why didn't some German soldier or officer just pull out a pistol and blow his brains out.

Well, to be fair, the guys who did Operation Valkyrie WERE German soldiers/officers, so some German soldiers/officers DID try to pull off killing Hitler.

Besides, when that young German Jewish kid tried to shoot Hitler during the 1930s, he ultimately failed, so it’s unlikely a German soldier would have been able to do the same thing (especially not after Hitler forced a loyalty oath to him alone to even JOIN the military at all, and that’s not even getting into the Hitler Youth where most of the kids didn’t even have a choice but to enter it.).
