For this thread, I'm curious about the forum's views on who succeeds Hitler if he is assassinated in late 1938.

The PoD is a familiar one: have Maurice Bavaud successfully assassinate Hitler at the Munich parade on 9 November 1938. There are lots of possible consequences from this, but I'm interested in what the consensus is about his possible successors.

I'd have thought that Göring was the frontrunner at this stage (though he hasn't yet been named official successor), but there are certainly plenty of others who could make an attempt (successful or otherwise). I've listed the main ones I can think of in the poll options, but feel free to specify any others I've missed.
