DBWI:What if Hitler had killed himself?

[Boom22]

Durning his trial in Nurmeburg he said he was very close to doing before some Soveit soilders caught him. How would history be affected?

I think the neo-Nazi guerilla movement would have been less likely to spring up after WWII. By "allowing" the Allies to capture him and eventually execute him, he became a martyr and a cause celebre for those who didn't want to abandon the fight. Hitler dying by his own hand wouldn't have galvanized the die-hard partisans.

It would have been more likely that Germany would be stable and unified in the aftermath of WWII, and there wouldn't have been the fighting between the neo-Nazi guerillas, the communists, and the proponents of democracy.

Another important effect of Hitler killing himself is that the Allies wouldn't have enough leverage against the Soviets concerning the many underground faction in post-war Germany. And likewise, with no leverage by the Soviets.

I suppose the Germans would stop fighting immediatley once their beloved Fuhrer killed himself. If he does not want to fight on, why should anybody else fight on? Probably millions would have conducted suicide themselves.

the Nurmeburg trial would have gone a lot different without hitlers manic screaming
