WhatWhat would have happened if someone shot and killed Hitler?

[MrShaun]

The Führerprinzip was something Adolf Hitler proclaimed in 1933. This was a claim that he (Hitler) was above the law -- in effect that whatever he did was to benefit Germany and, therefore, didn't require parliamentary approval.

We know now that anyone who may have assassinated Hitler would be hailed as a hero. However, what would have happened, at this stage, if someone would have had such courage?

I studied ww2 in school for gcse. There were a lot of attempts on Hitler's life but he miraculously was either missed or survived whether it be WW1 or the Munich pusch where he was shot or various assassination attempts it was always a case of him narrowly avoided death by a bullet missing or missing a plane or a bomb not exploding or a table shielding him from the blast.

It's possible Germany would have fallen under the control of someone like Erenest Rohm leader of the SA who leads Germany in a nationalistic fascist way like in Spain or Italy but decides not to attack Poland and later Russia and the Germany economy collapses. Hitler gambled a lot during his leadership and those gambles mostly paid off up until Stalingrad, maybe a different leader wouldn't gamble so much but wouldn't be as successful.

They did a survey of people without brain injuries and people with brain injuries and they asked them one question: would you kill one person to save many others?

The people with brain injuries said they would kill one person to save many others.

The people without brain injuries said they would not kill one person to save many others.

Hero to some, villain to others

I don't know if it would've made much of a difference. Himmler, his second in command most likely would have taken over, and also, the Holocaust was orchestrated by Adolph Eichmann.

Liberals would find some other evil dictator to compare President Trump to.

[MrShaun]

Really? Do you find a lot of similarities?

[exitseven]

No, but that never stopped them before,

Nothing just look at Henry Ford and all the other people that supported Nazi-like beliefs. World War II would have been started by some other country.

[Agape93]

Depends. One of his underlings would have taken control and the war could have gone better for em

[beefcakebradybatson]

Perhaps the world wouldn't have undergone World War Two.

[dustybiker2]

More people would have lived.

[Dargil]

Himmler would have stepped up.
