Actually, I think it was best that Hitler lived. He was so screwed up and surrounded by such sycophants that he was an assistance to Allied victory.

With the Nazis out of the way, the generals would have surrendered to the allied forces and kept the Russians out. There would not have been an Iron Curtain.

As Patton said, "All Nazi's are bad, but not all Germans are Nazi's." and, "Actually, the Germans are the only decent people left in Europe. It's a choice between them and the Russians. I prefer the Germans."

There were hundreds of Generals and thousands of Colonels. They did nothing but obey, invade, destroy and kill.

As a group they weren't to rational taking on the whole world, or watching millions of their own beloved Germans get killed or watch the war turn against them. They kept loyallay, or blindly following Hitler's crackpot ideas, supposedly even when they knew he was an idiot.

Then all of a sudden they are supposed to become ‘our Germans’ against the Soviets, oh and we are supposed to dump the Soviets too.

It didn't happen, they didn't do it, we weren't going to go along with it.

History played out as it did in reality. They never did Hitler or the Party in, the Army fought loyally right to the end.
