AHC: Sir Adolf Hitler

Let's see..

Hitler realizes the West aren't going to back down on Poland, and due to some very careful diplomacy (and luck) Poland gets invaded by the USSR before Germany does something. Germany scores a propagenda coup, and declares war against the SU. It ends in a bloody stalemate, but Hitler is knighted for his role in stopping the Red Menace.

Realistic?

No, but what the hell if reality was realistic half of it would never happen.
 
Doesn't the queen give Knighthoods for like artistic achievements now? So I guess have Adolf move to Britain and have is art improve a lot. Then have him live until the Queen starts giving out knighthoods for artistic achievement. And there you go.

I would have him move to Britain after he get's rejected from that German art school, then have him make a name as a popular landscape guy.

Much simpler, operation sealion succeeds and the Germans manage to install King Edward VIII as a pro-nazi puppet at Buckingham Palace while George VI is forced to flee to Canada. Queen Wallace Simpson then knights das furher.

That's just the kind of crap he'd pull but doesn't a succesful unmentionable sea mammal put this in ASB?
 
Really, I'd say you just need to avoid Britain being in the Second World War. A world like Farthing, where a isolationist government takes power after a fiasco at Dunkirk might end up knighting Hitler; we seem to hand out knighthoods like paper plates to some fairly odd people (Mugabe?) so if Hitler is seen as the 'Leader of Europe', it's quite likely we might use it to curry favour.
Given that South Africa was a Britich colony as recently as World War Two, I can see that.
