Can you imagine if he actually went to trial. The amount of charges against him would be insane

The fact that he refused to leave Berlin means that he intended to commit suicide the whole time….he was also fearful that his own people would drug him and hand him over to the Allies/Russians to save themselves,hitler’s paranoia was unbounded and was reinforced with the attempted assassination by a group of dissident Wehrmacht officers,so I doubt that any of these scenarios though plausible was possible….

If he was captured by the soviets I can only imagine what they would have done to him. The tortures he would have endured would have been crazy

At the end of the day, he took his own life instead of standing by his convictions and looking the people he wronged in the eye. What a pathetic coward. I wonder how many of our world leaders would have followed his example...

if he forgot his “suicide kit” he most likely would’ve just shot himself with his or one of his men’s weapons

My thoughts are that there was always a 0% chance of him ever being captured alive after 1939 - even if he wasn't determined to avoid capture at all costs - there arguably wouldn't have been an allied solider on the planet who wouldn't have pulled the trigger at that point. The reality is that any witnesses would likely have agreed to remain silent on it, even in the event of being tried for it there would be massive negative publicity for any punishment dished out in that situation, especially as it would presumably involve multiple soldiers as none would admit to it or grass their comrade in. History has told us plenty of times that this is generally the way it goes down, it's rare that someone of that standing makes it out to stand trial, especially in the days before cameras were in most pockets within 100 metres!

Short answer: He would've met the same fate as most of the Nuremberg defendants.

I’d imagine he would be brutally tortured. Like I’m talking cartel types of torture

If the Soviets captured him in the bunker I don't even think he would've left Germany, the sure that man would've been "Mussolinied"🤣🤣

9:25 Again in all these scenarios, he would have rather killed himself than be captured. So instead of dropping the gun, he would have shot himself from what we have seen happen in the real world

Shakes in fear? he ran through gunfire and artillery to deliver letters in ww1 for fun.

As if Stalin is innocent

The scenario where he used the trial as a platform and inspired a small but outspoken minority actually happened. When he first tried to take power by force and was stopped, he was put on trial. During his trial, he did just that. He garnered a lot of sympathy and used the trial to bring attention to his cause.

If WWII was prevented in Europe, I wonder what Japan would've done. Maybe when they hear about the quick defeat of the Nazis by the Allies, they decide that provoking the United States and its allies isn't worth it.

"The allies saw these genocidal plans. This angered the allies who punished him severely"

Scenario 40, what if aliens kidnapped him

I can't be the only one to think that killing him is letting him off too easy

Stalin: There can be only one moustache.

*Worst possible case scenario for a defense lawyer EVER* No chance of a light sentence!!

If captured alive in 1945 by the Soviet Union I assume he would've had a show trial leading to conviction and likely a death sentence with no permission for him to make any kind of argument or statements. The big question for me is if it would've been a quick trial of one or a few days, or a long, drawn-out trial lasting weeks. And if captured alive in 1945 by USA, France or Britain I'll assume his case would've been heard as one of the Nuremburg trials which was a process where defendants were allowed to make counteraguments. I think he still would've been convicted with a death sentence same as military commanders Keitel and Jodl as well as foreign minister von Ribbentrop who were tried there.

6:50 Yup, that could have happened if they had given him a platform to speak. He was an excellent speech giver and used to captivate everyone with his speech

Im sure if they captured him there would have been intense torture eventually leading up to his death too many people hated him for personal losses to give him a quick death or to let him see the light of day.

I doubt he would have been given the Napoleon treatment: living the rest of his days on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere.

The thing is... how can these videos be so real like a historical movie?

"Anyone can deal with victory. Only the mighty can bear defeat." - A. H.

Idea for a video: what if the nazis never invaded stalingrad, was this going to make a difference in this world nowadays?

If he realised he couldn't commit suicide but then realised they were going to blow open the door of the bunker with explosives, wouldn't that have been the time to not dive out of the way lol

There's no way he'd drop his pistol. He'd try and cut down as many allies as he can before he'd be killed.

Don’t forget, Poland was attacked by both Germany and The Soviet Union as part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact. So the Allies would most likely have had to battle the Red Army in the beginning of the war.

As a wise man once said "don't defeat an idiot by being an idiot"

The scenario where he is allowed to defend himself in trial in Moscow, gets rescued by his sympathizers and builds up his power in South America to start WW3 sounds like something that would make perfect alt history mod for Hearts of Iron 4

Good job with the possibles scenarios shown here. There is one aspect left behind and not considered... The capture OR death sentence of Adolf could have made him a reason to fight (if captured) or a martyr (if killed) in the view of his followers. It´s a long shot, but not impossible aspect.

second scenario nearly happened in 1943 during Soviet winter offensive after Stalingrad. They were like 100 km away from hitler's location but the didn't know it

go through all the trouble of building a bunker and don't even have a secret escape tunnel built?

Churchill had prepared a cell for him in the Tower of London.

If the current USA would had caught him. We would had traded him for someone much more underwhelming.

Back then, even the Soviets were monsters.

You show Tiger tanks rolling into Poland in1939. The Tiger wasn't introduced until August 1942.

Im 19 now but I’ve been enjoying your vids since I was 9 you made learning fun for me and even tho I use to hate school you made learning fun and you have thought me so so much thank you for that I love you guys never stop what you do is truly amazing and you deserve the best

If the Nazis were stopped early on, I wonder what this would have meant for Japan. Would there still have been an eventual conflict with Japan? Would Japan still attempt Pearl Harbor to control their Pacific interests? I think conflict with Japan would have definitely come sooner or later with their imperial expansion. Also rises the question with the Soviet Union, without the advancements of Von Braun in WW2, would there have been a Cold War? What could the Soviet Union have been?

1:29 The Soviets didnt fight for Germany in a few months, they had fought 4 years, and no, they did take prisoners

What if he left Berlin and helped with operation werwolf? Could that change the course of the war?

Thanks for the upload!

"How to say you're out of topics without saying you're out of topics"

The Soviet Air Force chief of staff in WW2 was Armenian air marshal Sergei Khudyakov He was in the Yalta Conference 1945 standing behind Stalin

You described this alt history so well it sounds like it was real, good job

The final scenario shows why it is best to intervene early rather than when it’s too late. This could be applied to the current conflict in Ukraine, but the nuclear deterrent complicates things

Great video great job , keep up the great work !

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!

Torturous effects of withdrawal itself would be all they need for effective nterrogation

This is all very interesting. But in the intro to the scenario of the beginning of the war, the statement is incorrect. Adolf had no plans of mass genocide at that point. The first plan was to gather the jews and undesirables and then exile them to Madagascar. This didn't work out and he had his top ranks like Himmler and Goering come up with "the final solution". That's why it's called that, it wasn't solution number 1. In reality, they came up with the gruesome plan. But he's still a monster because he had to approve everything they did.

His arrogance made him think that he and Germany were invincible so it probably wasn’t a thought

Video Idea: What if operation valkyrie was successful.

“You’re going down, big man”💀

if the scenario with himmler ever happened, the nazis wouldve still lose since they were losing on the production game aginst the US and UK by a decent shot, wich means there wouldve been a larger scale d-day wich woudlve been a sucess, and with that the ussr woudlve been incentivized to break the non aggression pact to consolidate further power and spread communism it germany. the scenario would (maybe) then evolve in a cold war if germany was totally deomcratic instead of split between east and west, as the allies woudlve probably made it to berlin first in this scenario

there's no way he could have restarted the movement after being captured. towards the end of the war he abandoned his public speaking, because he had lost his main talent. his talent was his ability to read a crowd and know exactly what they wanted him to say and say it. but by the end of the war, the crowds didn't want him to say any more about invading, killing, exterminating. at a trial the only people who would go in person would be very hostile. also those closest to him, and his generals, described how nearing the end of the war he basically went crazy. he was so narcissistic and in denial that they could possibly lose that if generals ever retreated he would fire them or even execute them, so most in that situation committed suicide. he was fighting on too many fronts and spread his troops way to thin especially on the eastern front. a general would say 'we have no tanks, we have lost most of the division and there are only a few hundred soldiers left riddled with disease vs fit Russians with heavy artillery' and he would just say 'but our soldiers are germans, if we lose then its your fault' and was basically throwing away all the resources he had left. if he somehow ascended to power again this would only continue and it would be a very swift downfall. he become shaky, with a limp, skinny, pale, and ill, he was not fit for public presentation or speaking and had frequent psychological breakdowns. for months before they even neared Berlin he was refusing to leave his bunker and made most generals come to him in his hole for meetings.

You should do a video on Churchill's crimes in india and Africa

I know a lot of soldiers took Lugers as trophies, bit it’s not very likely they will use it in actual combat, let alone all the way to Berlin since they probably have very limited ammo

literal ww2 fan fic

2:46 Tanks run over the countryside with a hay field and wagon... but the machinery to make large round hay bales was not invented until the early 1970s.

What if the USA never participated in WWI? That would have taken Churchill not loading arms on passenger ships.

I really enjoy your videos and this was no exception. I would of liked to hear your thoughts on how this would of affected the German economy and the Treaty of Versailles.

I like how this guy portraits the soviets as innocent people as if Stalin didn't killed millions.

Here we go again, infographics answering questions I didn't know I was gonna ask

Your videos are very entertaining,informative and interesting,keep it up!

The NKVD wouldve treated him very humanely.

I doubt WWII could have been stopped only delayed. If it happened much later nuclear weapons would have been available to both side.

You gotta be the most consistent KZfaqr ever

I liked the third one. The Allies just going “Nah, we’re not doing this today, F off” is hilarious to me for some reason.

The 3rd scenario is extremely unlikely. Britain and France were in no position to fight a war even at the beginning of the conflict (hence why Germany curb stomped them for the first few years), and America was so isolationist, it took being attacked by Japan and Germany declaring war on them to get them involved.

"Follow me and ponder the question....What if?" *Jeffery Wright voice* I love what-ifs on this channel so do more, Infographics!

This would be a great idea for a movie.

If the allies were able to successfully prevent WW2, what would it have meant for the colonies under the British empire?

The guy that declined him on art school is to blame

I have always wanted to see a video like this and I could never find a video about this what if even when searching it up or recommending the idea to channels like alternative history hub so thanks for finally making one of my what if thiughts a reality

"Reprimanded by Stalin" That's a polite way to put it.

If he went to trial, it would've taken hours to read his sentencing

This is the future of on screen entertainment! Bravo

This was a very interesting idea, great video

your vids are all ways so entertaining

Besides the inaccuracy of the weapons the Russians had in this animation (look for Russian story game play of World at wWar for a example) the beginning is definitely accurate to what the regular soldiers would have done.

Charlie Chaplin shaves off his mustache immediately

The scenario of him having a platform to speak would be real accurate tbh I mean look at the world today he is dead and his empire fell yet there are still those in modern times who believe in his ideals and philosophies their numbers growing and radical groups springing up in just about every part of the world

Bro got kidnapped by the aliens

I always wonder how all these horrible dictators get into power, sadly once there a lot of innocent people get killed or hurt.

The idea that the USA would have been a major player militarily in 1939 is absurd. The US ranked 14th in the world in the size of its military. After Pearl Harbour, it took nearly 2 years for the US to build up army and air forces to a reasonable size,

Respect To The Camera Man Who Went Back In Time For Us

10:55 In my opinion the "contestants" to lead Germany at that time would all be trying to become leader, so it would be likely that they would form into factions and start a civil war.

He would have been torn to pieces buy the Soviet troops

Can you please do some alternate WW1 scenarios?

These are so many scenarios on which so many interesting movies or series can be made lol

Here’s an interesting idea for a future video: What would happen if Kim Il-Sung and his family had been captured by the Allied forces during the Korean War? 🧐

I’ve had him over for tea and I agreed with everything he said in order to boost my ratings.

The fanfic is real

I’ve never heard Himmler, Gobbles or Goehring been described as competent

I am a non-native English speaker and I find it amusing to watch educational videos on youtube. Even though I can understand the majority of content made in English, sometimes I can't understand you, I think you say your "r" so strong. I like your content and appreciate the time you take for creating it. But your accent is too difficult to get.

You should do samurai history next bro I love your videos I'm a huge nerd for history.

The "ironic" thing is that without the war, I would not have been born (my grandparents met in a refugee camp after the war)

needless to say: Some people have no moral compass, some folks have to die.
