“With Hitler gone, the German high command would of been some what more militarily rationalized and more efficient.”

At that late stage of the war, Germany was losing badly. Perhaps these men could have surrendered sooner and stopped the “scorched Earth” policy that Hitler had put into place and hundreds of thousands of more people did not have to die.

We’ll never know.

"late stage"

Until the end of the war, Hitler kept the extermination camps open transporting Jews and other victims to them. Hitler was always the most fanatical Jew-hater of all the Nazis. With his death, even if the generals had fought on, most likely they would have ended the death camps as a needless waste of manpower and materiel. Hitler's assassination would have meant a better end to the war.
