The published novels "Fox on the Rhine" and "Fox at the Front" use just that scenario. For what it's worth, a lot of Nazi-Germany-survives scenarios do seem to have Himmler becoming Fuhrer in the course of events.
I wouldn't call them "assholish," I just call that wankage. I think of "Asshole AH" as scenarios where authors make things deliberately worse if such-and-such happened while pretty much ignoring historical fact.Or Central Power victory TLs where the whole world become a perfect utopia because the Germans are so God Damned awesome are about as Assholish.
I'll agree that a scenario where Himmler becomes Führer while World War II is still going on is flat-out dumb. With regards to him becoming head honcho after World War II...well, I doubt the Wehrmacht will be anywhere near as influential, and being the head of an extensive and highly efficient secret police force is a pretty good position to start from, even if you are a complete nutter (especially if most people don't know how batshit insane you are).The published novels "Fox on the Rhine" and "Fox at the Front" use just that scenario.

That is why Nixon must be wanked!![]()
I thought you meant A ++ alternate history when I read the title first. No idea why you censored that.
