Hitler dies in WWI

While running one of his messages Hitler gets killed by an artillery shell how does post-war Germany change? Obviously the Nazis won't go anywhere as they were nothing until he took them over but who takes their place? What kind of government are you looking at? Maybe a Mussolini type Fascism?

someone started a timeline on this, I kind of forgot. Depending on the situation, we might see a Mussolini-type Fascism, a Stalin-type Communism, or just the Weimar Republic (see Weimar World).
 
Europe ends up looking so completely different from OTL that it's tough to even speculate. There might or might not be another big European war, but it certainly won't be at all similar to our WWII.
 
The "20th Century Bismarck" armed with nukes thanks to German Jewish physicists starts WW3, everybody dies.



(For those who are not figuring it out, see, Hitler killed or scared off any Jewish scientists who might have built a German nuke, so, yeah. There.)

The Red Baron's Mitteleuropa mentions both Hitler and Goering dying on the same day, though I'm sure there is another TL centered on this premise. Also, National Socialism as we know it is butterflied away, while the DVNP could arise instead of the NSDAP. I also forgot to ask if Georg Strasser might be inclined to join any other right-wing parties?

One good effect on Hitler's early death will be that the concept of lebensraum will vanish, but I'm not sure if Scheubner-Richter's Aufbau Vereinigung will even emerge as OTL said organization was composed of early German National Socialists and White Russian emigres.
 
Someone else will lead the National socialist party to power.

Great. Who? Also, how does the NSDAP come into being? Seriously, without Hitler the DAP would have likely merged with the KPD, as they almost did OTL. Either way, the DAP without Hitler is less then a footnote, it, like so many of the beer hall backroom cabals of Interwar Bavaria, will be simply forgotten by history.

And really? You can find 50 or so of these threads if you go to advanced search and select Post 1900, withe Keyword Hitler.
 
Isn't that subscribing to the Great Man Theory everyone here seems to despise?

Not really, Germany would probably still go right but without Hitler it won't be the Nazis. My best guess is some sort of Mussolini styled Fascism which wasn't nearly as bad. Mussolini might have been a swaggering buffoon but at least he wasn't a mass murdering psychopath!
 
Germany goes democratic, WWII is fought against Stalin

i think not,
Weimar Republic was more hated by Right wing, communist and it politicians
like Reichspresident Hindenburg, who in public regular declare his dislike on this democracy !
Also many germans wanted back to good old day of Imperial Germany.

It would be the fight of Right wing vs Communist in 1930s
and the Right wings like Stahlhelm, organisation consul, Freikorps, Kampfbund, Wehrwolf with close tie-in with Reichswehr (military) could win this,
more likely the Weimar Republic could end in 1930s and be replace by a Monarchy in Germany.
and yes again, Germany start a World War to restore the border of Imperial Germany and get there colonies back...

A nasty, probably right wing dictatorship. But not bat shit crazy and genocidal.

A war is possible but it would not be otl's WW2

That's depends how diplomatic the new leaders or King is.
on restoration of the border of Imperial Germany, most Europe's nations will have no problem with that, except France and Poland and Czechoslovakia.
on return of former Germans Colonies, the British Empire and France will refuse.
Here Again it depends if the leader or king is eager for War, especially to punish the French for Treaty of Versailles.
and how are the alliance Treaty between France, Poland and British empire.

Germany can't regain its colonies without a much stronger navy in any case. It can whine about them but it can't regain them by force.
