One of the many programs the military channel focused on Hitlers
commands during WW2. They said there were a number of attempts to
assassinate him but the Allies decided his directions of the military
would help the Allies win more than removing him from the picture. They
may be right as he made some dumb commands that probably cost them way
to many lives. Often when his Army got in trouble and needed to retreat
and regroup Hitler's standard command was to never retreat. Several of
his armies might have survived to fight another day if he had allowed
them to retreat. He was also indecisive and changed his mind often.
Possibly, if one of his Generals/Admirals had taken over they may have
made better tactical decisions. The guy running the U-Boat program
(Carnais - misspelled?) was put in charge at the end and he was
infinitely better at running military operations than Hitler. Hitler
managed some spectacular victories early in the war but the wins were
more about their opponents lack of preparation for a modern mechanical
war & surprise than brilliant tactics. The Polish army was a match for
the Germans but they tried to fight tanks while on horses. Also, the
French had a larger army and more tanks but their tactics was lacking,
often using their tanks in too small numbers.
But I'm not so sure the masses of Germans would follow someone like they
did Hitler...

Well for one thing the US might not have made shiploads of cash from WW2.
Or worse still, someone with some real brains and talent, instead of a
self deluded nutjob might have risen to power in Germany and won the war.
Hitlers insanity is arguably the key reason that Germany lost the war.

They decided Hitler's artwork wasn't worth buying.
Imagine how different the world would be if that nutbag had been an
impoverished artist instead of a starving artist.
