Jewish Hitler

Maybe puppet Fascist Isreal, and Holocaust to blacks, gypsies, handicaps, and such.
? What Blacks in 1930-ies in Europe (even more so - in Germany)? Hitler wasn't Featherstone, guys. I'd think Slavs would take Jews' place in gas chambers, if only all that "Jewish Hitler" thing would be possible (which I strongly doubt). I mean, leader with some Jewish blood was possible (moreover, there were even (unfounded) suspicions that Hitler himself had that blood, and these suspicions didn't hurt him much), but openly, proudly Jewish Nazi Fuhrer? Not a chance.

I said this hypothetical Jewish Hitler wasn't racist. Also for black in Nazi Germany:

Black German Holocaust Victims

So much of our history is lost to us because we often don't write the history books, don't film the documentaries, or don't pass the accounts down from generation to generation. One documentary now touring the film festival circuit, telling us to "Always Remember" is " Black Survivors ofthe Holocaust" (1997). Outside the U.S., the film isentitled "Hitler's Forgotten Victims" (Afro-Wisdom Productions). It codifies another dimension to the "Never Forget" Holocaust story - our dimension.

Did you know that in the 1920s, there were 24,000 Blacks living in Germany? Neither did I. Here's how it happened, and how many of them were eventually caught unawares by the events of the Holocaust.

Like most West European nations, Germany established colonies in Africa in the late 1800s in what later became Togo, Cameroon, SPAN Namibia, and Tanzania. German genetic experiments began there, most notably involving prisoners taken from the 1904 Heroro Massacre that left 60,000 Africans dead, following a 4-year revolt against German colonisation. After the shellacking Germany received in World War I, it was stripped of its African colonies in 1918.
As a spoil of war, the French were allowed to occupy Germany in the Rhineland - a bitter piece of real estate that has gone back and forth between the two nations for centuries. The French willfully deployed their own colonised African soldiers as the occupying force. Germans viewed this as the final insult of World War I, and, soon thereafter, 92% of them voted in the Nazi party.
Hundreds of the African Rhineland-based soldiers intermarried with German women and raised their children as Black Germans. In Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote about his plans for these "Rhineland Bastards". When he came to power, one of his first directives was aimed at these mixed-race children. Underscoring Hitler's obsession with racial purity, by 1937, every identified mixed-race child in the Rhineland had been forcibly sterilized, in order to prevent further "race polluting", as Hitler termed it.
Hans Hauck, a Black Holocaust survivor and a victim of Hitler's mandatory sterilisation program, explained in the film "Hitler's Forgotten Victims" that, when he was forced to undergo sterilisation as a teenager, he was given no anaesthetic. Once he received his sterilisation certificate, he was "free to go", so long as he agreed to have no sexual relations whatsoever with Germans.
Although most Black Germans attempted to escape their fatherland, heading for France where people like Josephine Baker were steadily aiding and supporting the French Underground, many still encountered problems elsewhere. Nations shut their doors to Germans, including the Black ones. Some Black Germans were able to eke out a living during Hitler's reign of terror by performing in Vaudeville shows, but many Blacks, steadfast in their belief that they were German first, Black second, opted to remain in Germany. Some fought with the Nazis (a few even became Lutwaffe pilots)!
Unfortunately, many Black Germans were arrested, charged with treason, and shipped in cattle cars to concentration camps. Often these trains were so packed with people and (equipped with no bathroom facilities or food), that, after the four-day journey, box car doors were opened to piles of the dead and dying. Once inside the concentration camps, Blacks were given the worst jobs conceivable. Some Black American soldiers, who were captured and held as prisoners of war, recounted that, while they were being starved and forced into dangerous labour (violating the Geneva Convention), they were still better off than Black German concentration camp detainees, who were forced to do the unthinkable-man the crematoriums and work in labs where genetic experiments were being conducted. As a final sacrifice, these Blacks were killed every three months so that they would never be able to reveal the inner workings of the "Final Solution".
In every story of Black oppression, no matter how we were enslaved, shackled, or beaten, we always found a way to survive and to rescue others. As a case in point, consider Johnny Voste, a Belgian resistance fighter who was arrested in 1942 for alleged sabotage and then shipped to Dachau. One of his jobs was stacking vitamin crates. Risking his own life, he distributed hundreds of vitamins to camp detainees, which saved the lives of many who were starving, weak, and ill-conditions exacerbated by extreme vitamin deficiencies. His motto was "No, you can't have my life; I will fight for it."
According to Essex University's Delroy Constantine-Simms*, there were Black Germans who resisted Nazi Germany, such as Lari Gilges, who founded the Northwest Rann - an organisation of entertainers that fought the Nazis in his home town of Dusseldorf - and who was murdered by the SS in 1933, the year that Hitler came into power.
Little information remains about the numbers of Black Germans held in the camps or killed under the Nazi regime. Some victims of the Nazi sterilisation project and Black survivors of the Holocaust are still alive and telling their story in films such as "Black Survivors of the Nazi Holocaust", but they must also speak out for justice, not just history.
Unlike Jews (in Israel and in Germany), Black Germans receive no war reparations because their German citizenship was revoked (even though they were German-born). The only pension they get is from those of us who are willing to tell the world their stories and continue their battle for recognition and compensation.
After the war, scores of Blacks who had somehow managed to survive the Nazi regime, were rounded up and tried as war criminals. Talk about the final insult! There are thousands of Black Holocaust stories, from the triangle trade, to slavery in America, to the gas ovens in Germany. We often shy away from hearing about our historical past because so much of it is painful; however, we are in this struggle together for rights, dignity, and, yes, reparations for wrongs done to us through the centuries. We need to always remember so that we can take steps to ensure that these atrocities never happen again.

Would there be no Isreal, with no Holocaust in this timeline?

There could be a similiar event for Holocaust but focused on Slavic people who would be seen as the main barrier to Greater Germany in this TL.
 
What about a variant on Haber?

He had a big impact on farmers in the early 20th century developing artificial nitrate fertilizer. Nonreligious, though born to Jewish parents. Heavily involved in military research during the Great War, developing chemical weapons and improved gas masks.

The guy was a jingo commissioned officer and had multiple points of public exposure. Could someone in his shoes trade on that for political gain?

Haber was 50 in 1918. A charismatic leader would need to be younger to command appeal in the thirties and forties. Haber, though could have been part of the movement, with public exposure and younger people professing German technological awe in politics.

Can he act as a model to base such a character on, though?

Take a man from a similar background, give him the same early career progression, and give him Haber's personal successes? His fertilizer breakthrough was in 1909. Keeping that figure, making him thirty at the time, and he's 51 in 1930.

The Jewish Hitler after defeating Britain or at least a draw may ask for Palestine and sponser a Jewish state.

Without major POD he won't be doing any defeating of Britain.

To defeat Britain, he needs a navy. Arguably one not only competitive with, but (at least around the Channel), superior to, the Royal Navy. And an expeditionary force. And air superiority. After first defeating France.

Not so easy.

There is a reason Germany lost ww2, and it wasn't just simply 'Hitler was nuts'. Geopolitics and sea-power trumped excellence in land warfare; and economic production in a large-scale war of attrition trumped all.
 
I don't believe in "Jewish Leader of German Nazi", but Jewish leader of German revanchist post-WWI movement is entirely possible. It would cause mild spike of antisemitism around the world (the same way Jewish involvement in Russian revolution did), but nothing major (as per OTL, poisonous idea of "Jewish Bolshivism" took roots only in countries with strong history of antisemitism, merely replacing Blood Libel and other medieval delusions).

Slavs are too numerous to be cleansed as easily. Hitler did plan for them IOTL to be halved, but there're just too many of them.

Assuming that WWII went along the lines similar to OTL (Germany starts the war to "avenge Versailles", wounds British Empire and eventually loses), situation in 1947 Palestine is very similar to OTL (there're more than half-mil of Jews and about the same number of Arabs, both groups are positively unwilling to share the country and are tearing mandate structure apart). Mandate's future still falls under UN arbitrage, as Uk got neither will nor wherewithals to govern there any longer. However, Jews aren't traumatised by the Holocaust experience and not as paranoid about getting "an independent refuge of their own". Taking into account all the OTL noises from different regional figures, I consider federative monarchy (under Abdulla of Jordan) with very complicated power-sharing structure to appease different communities (say Muslim Arab PM, very independent and powerful Jewish FinMin, Christian Arab Chief prosecutor or Foreign minister) pretty likely. Now, neither this inherently unstable country would enact anything resembling OTL Law of Return, not there would be a pressing need for it (there's no stream of European survivors, trying to get as far as they could from their birthplace).

However, this house of cards is unstable and can easily come down in 1960s as part of "Arab national awakening" (just in time to accept Yemeni Jews and Moroccans). It is bound to repeat Lebanon's fate sooner or later. Now, as soon as independent Israel pops up and leans on West for support (almost predefined development), the whole "Let My People Go" campaign ("Right to immigrate for Oppressed Soviet Jewry") starts, this is too powerful card to be ignored. Now, if Soviet Union got Eastern Europe during alt-WWII, that's just perfect (at least 7 millions), but even without that absence of Holocaust guarantees 4-5 mln. of Soviet Jews and their family members to be used in Cold War game. Assuming same general outline of events (eventual collapse of the Communist system), post-1991 Israel is going to get millions of people...
