History would have certainly been different if that man had killed Hitler, but not the history that most people believe it would have been.
Without Hitler, impoverished Germans would have probably embraced Red Banner Communism. They would have joined with Stalin and the two nations would have still tried to conquer Europe and beyond, in the name of the international brotherhood of workers.
How would WW2 have gone with Germany and the USSR united against the rest of Europe. What would an America, which was run by a Progressive (communist) throughout the 1930’s have done as the red wave swept across Europe and into Africa and Asia?
Even if killing Hitler in 1917 would have saved the 6 million Jews who died in the camps, Stalin’s treatment of Jews wasn’t much better.
If you don’t think that Germany would have slipped into Communism, just look at how easily it’s happening in the USA right now and we aren’t nearly as miserable as the people of Germany in the 1920’s and 30’s.
Agree—you never know what would have happened. One thing for sure, as evil as Hitler was, the overwhelming majority of people living today would not be here (myself included).
Good analysis .. re Stalin, Roosevelt & Hopkins et al would’ve likely made Neville’s schtick seem positively Churchillian.
