AHC: Nuremberg with Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Bouhler, and Bormann plus OTL Defendants

Maybe Hitler decides to leave Berlin when the situation is hopeless...

No matter how bad things got, Adolf repeatedly rejected pleas to leave Berlin. He preferred to die at his place of power, not "go under somewhere on the streets" or "on a mountain somewhere."
 
Maybe Hitler decides to leave Berlin when the situation is hopeless, going to the Alps, but his plane is shot down before the landing, so he miraculously survives.

Hitler wasn't such person who would had escaped. He was going remain in Berlin. And even he would try escaped and would be captured, it will be difficult stop him commiting suicide.
 
Capital suggestion! :)

The German military establishment does a last-minute coup. It doesn’t work as well as they hope as far as getting a better deal from the Allies.

But they do arrest the bad guys and put them on suicide watch.

Did the Allies not know where the Fuhrerbunker was, or was it just impossible to reach it in time to capture Hitler alive?

Of course they knew where it was, or the Russians did. Adolf planned to kill himself if/when the situation became hopeless and the fall of Berlin was imminent. So, assuming he was kept informed by daily briefings, he'd know when he had to go. The last briefing on April 30 convinced him it was all over...
