This is one of those ceteris paribus games wherein a single variable is isolated and the consequences of a change in it measured by only the effect it has directly on the world around. The real world is nothing like that. There was, after all, a Nazi party before Hitler came to it, a laundry list of oppressions visited on a defeated Germany whether just or otherwise, a resulting hyperinflation, a succeeding Great Depression; all of these were instrumental in the waning of the Social Democrats and the rise of the radicals of the internationalist Communist and the nationalist Nazi parties after 1930. These were not, in fact, even baseline conditions of their own; each of them had its own set of variables.

So you think the probabilities are pretty high that some other German leader would end up getting 50 million people killed? Really?

So I think what? Draw your own conclusions and stop putting words into my mouth.
