Introduction |
---|
As a feudal state in which the Nazi barons competed for the favor of their leader, it's doubtful that Hitler's Reich could have stood for long no matter what the outcome of the Second World War. Had Adolf Hitler fallen victim to one of the many plots against his life, rather than ending with his cowardly suicide in the ruins of his capital, his followers' rivalry might have been decided by force of arms. |
Conclusion |
---|
Most fantasies of Germany performing better in the Second World War thanks to more rational choices fall apart under close inspection due to one fatal flaw: the Nazi regime was not a rational organization. Plotters involved in the July 1944 attempt to kill Hitler discussed the possibility of civil war against the Waffen SS, but that outcome does not seem likely. Despite protestations of honor, the regular army was a co-conspirator in Nazism's boundless crimes. |
