German Civil War (1943 - 1945)

As the course of the war progresses, many of Hitler's top officials begin to have second thoughts about the whole lebensraum idea, and killing the Jews. The opposition, led by Claus von Stauffenburg, plan to assassinate Hitler, and end the war, and make peace with the Allies.

Operation Valkyrie was a failure, and Hitler survives. However, the resistance movement does not give up. Hitler orders the conspirators jailed, but the flee and set up a "Free German Government" in the city of Dusseldorf. Stauffenburg is installed as the government's leader, with Friedrich Olbricht as supreme head of military personell. Those most-loyal to Hitler remained in Berlin.

A civil war ensues between the resistance and Hitler's forces. Like Russia, Germany surrenders the war early, and Hitler's Nazis face their opponents. The Nazis lose.
 
Düsseldorf is a German city you know. The Nazis are gonna be there just like in Berlin so setting up a government in exile won't work. Besides, by 1944, when Operation Valkyrie took place, the SS and Gestapo were already enormously powerful and I'm quite sure the Himmler will track down the dissenters. No civil war IMO.
 
Stauffenberg was not the leader of German resistance. If there was one real leader it was Henning von Tresckow, who recruited Stauffenberg in the first place and planned many more assassination attempts than Claus did. Truth be told, although I ain't blaming you for that misconception I am a bit tired of the whole "give Stauffenberg command 'cuz he was the brave leader and all..." when it was all Tresckow.

There was not going to be a Civil War. I don't really like the term anyway, lets call it an internal power struggle. Germany will fall apart long before 1945 if this happens
