Himmler was expected to be made Hitler's successor after Goring was disgraced. Just days before Hitler dismissed him, he attended a meeting with the German High Command (Doenitz included) where he was acknowledged as deputy Fuhrer given he was expected to succeed Hitler. In the end he didn't succeed Hitler because his peace attempts got leaked and Hitler accused him of treason.
Suppose Himmler's peace proposal don't get leaked or somehow they fail to reach Hitler in time (he killed himself just days latter)
What would happen next with Himmler as Hitler's successor? Would he attempt to make peace with the allies again? Would he eventually surrender? Would the nukes end up being used in Germany?
