What if he succeed and killed all five; Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Keitel and Dönitz (which means a total collapse of the Third Reich's leadership)? It was one of the earliest attempts by the same people from the July 20 plot and probably almost the same government they'd set up would come in power. But how would the war succeed? How would the allies react? The new German government wanted peace with the western allies, would the western allies accept? And what about the Soviet Union?
Would a Germany with Austria, the Sudetenland and it's 1914 eastern border be plausible? (aslong as the western allies also force a peace in the east).

How would in that TL 2013 look like?

Let's discuss this because I am really interested in a scenario like this.

Practical information for March 1943: Germans still in Tunisia but at the point to retreat to Italy. German conquests towards Stalingrad made in 1942 almost lost again but also the German counteroffensive around Kharkov just ended in a decisive victory for the Germans.
