Hitler dies in plane crash 1932

I believe that a big part of Hitler's Presidential campaign was his flying around the country.

Now aircraft as such were a pretty new and also pretty unsafe technology then

Would Nazis have still taken power had Hitler died. If so who and how different or similar would they have been to OTL
 
Wasn't 'Hitler Uber Deutchland' more of a propaganda stunt, than actual flying? I think the amount of time spent in the air was insignificant, not creating that much opportunities for anything to go wrong (or right, as in the case of Hitler dying).

As for consequences, well it could go either way, IMHO. Goebbels could very well make a grand martyr of him, throwing an obligatory Jewish-Communist conspiracy propaganda coup, thus bringing Nazi to power, with someone like Gregor Strasser or Ernst Roehm at helm?

No, he was a campaign innovator. He was the first major candidate, maybe the first candidate, to use airplanes to enable him to do campaign stops in multiple cities, much like is the norm in American politics today. Airplanes were a major part of why he was able to win so many seats in the parliament.

I think the Nazi movement still would have moved ahead even with no Hitler, priobably with Goebbels and Himmler in charge.
