Have a French sniper or a British machine gunner get lucky and do the whole world a favor.
It takes much more divergence to save Weimar than to kill Hitler. His death in 1918 or 1923 in all likelihood changes the successor regime to Weimar from the Nazi to a different, saner kind of right-wing authoritarian regime. OTOH, Hitler's death in 1938 in all likelihood still defaults to a military junta after a brief infighting interlude between Nazi leaders.

And under a saner right-wing government completely distinct from the Nazis and with Hitler long dead by 1925, Germany likely retains more of its technical expertise and intellectual class that was lost as a result of the Nazi policies implemented in our timeline. The consequences of fascist or similar governments in Germany and Italy both indifferent/favorable (rather than hostile) to Jews could be quite interesting down the line.
In your scenario there will still be a massive brain drain from Germany because the intellectual class is often where the dissent comes from - and if Einstein&Co have to flee Germany or end up in a "reeducation" camp because they critisized the government (as opposed to being Jewish) they are still lost. Italy lost a great deal of the technical and scientific expertise well before they sucked up to Hitler and implemented racist laws.
Also any "sane" but undemocratic right-wing (or left wing) government tends to evolve into oppressive dictatorship if not peacefully removed from power early enough. A few years in power to consolidate the country and break the radical groups may be a good idea.. but then they have to go.
