Interestingly enough, and despite repeated pleas, Eisenhower refused calls to kill Hitler simply because he believed a more competent General would replace him and the war would last longer.

In 1943 Stalin had an assassination squad in Berlin, which he recalled, for the same reason!

It wouldn’t have mattered who replaced Hitler, Germany did not have the economic wherewithal to win the war. It’s economy could not compete with the United States alone. I do not have the figures handy, but even the UK’s economy was outproducing Germany. They were doomed from the start.
