Nice article Gina and a good question 'what if '.

My guess would be this : "Hitler’s death might lead to a better-led German war machine"

That was a very good, very interesting point, one not many would consider.

I had a discussion a few years ago with a military history professor at West Point. His position was that the Allies did not defeat the Wehrmacht. Hitler did. He ran it into the ground and had them chasing boondoggles.

The problem with that guess is that if Hitler had been killed the military would have taken power and immediately sued for terms. The officer corps had seen far more clearly than Hitler his strategic vulnerabilities. They only acquiesced when his diplomatic victories without war depleted domestic political opposition, and then out of nationalism after hostilities began.

I think you're probably right.......

It's fun to sit back and wonder "what if".....I'm a firm believer that events are pre-ordained and if we had access to a time machine, no matter what tyrant may be taken out during their time, another one would simply assume the spot.
