I don’t know about your opinion there.

Anyway, WHEN kill Hitler? What exactly is the alternative history?

Some have talked about as a baby. Some, what if WWI killed him?

I wonder if he got more attention with his artwork if he wouldn’t be quite what he became. Or, FTM, if the Allies hadn’t been overly punitive with WWI aftermath.

All innocent naive speculation, on my part, since I don’t know much.

I must admit that I don’t know how it all would have worked out if the tyrant had been assassinated, either.

I just know that all plotters against him, or (I prefer the term of) resistance fighters were united in their wish to end the bloodbath and genocide as quickly as possible.

This scenario assumes, of course, that he indeed was successful in his intrigue to become a dictator. Had he died as a child, or not survived to his thirties, I don’t see Germany becoming a Nazi terror state. His charisma was considered almost unearthly, even by those who objectively hated his guts.

The entire Nazi system has been called a polycracy, where many suborganizations of the party competed with each other and with older structures of government.

All of it was centered, „hinged“, on his person, with him pulling the strings in the middle like an evil puppeteer, or like a spider; smack-dab in the middle of its net.

The advantage of this would have been that the entire system of tyrannical rule would have come crashing down with him gone. The entire system would have been decapitated.

That‘s why he had to go to hell.
