This depends on no Soviet attack on Europe.
There won't be one if the European powers are on reasonable terms. Stalin won't risk taking them all on together. An isolated Germany maybe - not everybody at once.

Before the Nazis yes, but before the Nazis Germany had one of the most accepted Jewish communities in Europe, which is why the Holocaust was somewhat unexpectedThough I forget just where I read it, but it stated that the Poles were actually more anti-Semitic than the Germans.
ummmm, neither Goering, the army, the Corporatist or the Nazis were in any way democrats, and were much more ummm extreme than FrancoSo we have a slowly evolving democracy in Germany that is not tainted with defeat like the Weimar Republic.

The idea that everything Nazi was Hitler's is simply ridiculous, Hitler simply wanted things to get done sooner than most people did.Ummmm
Please read what I said earlier on in this thread.

Yes, he was crucial in shaping Nazi Germany, and things would have turned out differently had he not being there, but the goals of the army and that of the party weren't that different when it came to foreign policy. The Nazis might not have dominated the army as much, but a war was certainly still possible. It simply wouldn't have being as insane as OTL Germany's war.He wrote the book!! The army swore loyalty to HIM. The Generals were over awed by Him. He was the one who out witted the western democracies.
He wasn't the only Nazi leader to have matteredHe made the decisons that mattered. The German people bought into HIM.
The people said Heil Hitler not Heil Nazism.
The country kept together fine when Hitler started to drop out of the public eye after 1943, the party mattered a lot tooYes there were Nazis type beliefs everywhere but only one person commanded the loyalty and respect to keep it all together.
Yes, it would make a big difference for sure. But what I'm saying is that getting rid of Hitler doesn't mean Germany is going to be peaceful or democracticThat's why so many people thought that assassinating him would make a big diffrence. That was why so many people tried.

Oh and the army had being circumventing Versailles before the ink had even dried on the paper so I don't know why it's a dream for them to do so.He wasn't the only Nazi leader to have matteredThe country kept together fine when Hitler started to drop out of the public eye after 1943, the party mattered a lot tooYes, it would make a big difference for sure.

They are both things everyone wanted anyway even the Weimar Republic, there's a reason why there was never an eastern LocarnoGetting around the restrictions of Versailles is different from invading Poland.
Well, it's not like Germany and Russia didn't cooperate on the issue OTLYou are right that the Germans wanted to redraw the boundaries but it is my sincere belief that without Hitler they wouldn't have tried and IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO LATE because of the rise of Soviet power especially after 1940.
I don't know where that idea came from, Hitler kept pushing because he's HitlerGermany was in a race against time. Hitler knew that which was why he kept pushing even when his generals were terrified.
Probably, but Communism lasted 45 years after StalinIf Hitler is out of the picture in 1938 then Nazi power is doomed in the long term. Also Fascism has a shelf life.
I think you are really thinking this in the context of post-WWIIEven with no war the example of America as a rich democracy with a strong cultural influence would have had a corrossive effect as time went by.
Eventually people will think goose step or Jazz which is best? Or worse still Rock n Roll versus military marches.

So did FascismCommunism had a history before Stalin who had other 'giants' before him. Stalin was Stalin. He was not communism.
No, the British and french rearmament were direct responses to German foreign policy, most people at the time already thought of Soviet Union as the greatest threat from 1919-1938The ticking clock was the economy which was in trouble in 1939, the rise of the USSR to superpower status (look at the plans for the soviet military for the next 5 years) and the fact that the Britsh and french were rearming rapidly.
Even a slightly outdated German military could take on Czechoslovakia, Poland and France, plus without Hitler rearmament wouldn't go as fastGermany's window was 1939/40. Without Hitler they don't do it. The system would gradually implode. All that aggression built up with nowhere to go.

The merit of ideology is frankly pretty subjective, and the people went along with itFascism poured out of Mussolini's rectum just after WWI and had no real philosophy although they tried to make one.
It was definitely military, USSR circa 1938 was a different thing from 1921, hence the cordon sanitaire.The Soviet threat was seen as a political one not a military one for most of the time between 1919-38. Poland a newly re established country carved out of three states was able to fight off the Russians in 1921.
Beck and Canaris isn't the whole German militaryThe German military didn't want a war with Czechoslovakia!! They even planned a coup if Hitler went ahead. Obviously they didn't think their military could take on Czechoslovakia, Poland and France.
I repeat that Nazism had no real life outside of Hitler.
