So, I've been reading around and I've found a very interesting piece of history.

According to this historic journal, the weeks previous to the Munich conference were among the most perilous for Adolf Hitler's position as Fuhrer. Many people feared that his intentions to acquire the Sudetenland would precipitate a war, and so a lot of high-ranking officials began plotting his removal.

How likely is a coup in, say, 29th of September, 1938? Let's say Chamberlain manages to stall long enough for the plotters to carry out their coup? Consider that the chief leaders would've been former chief of the general staff Ludwig Beck, deputy chief of staff Franz Halder, Abwehr director Wilhelm Canaris, Abwehr chief of staff Hans Oster and Carl Goerdeler, mayor of Leipzig.

I may also provide a list of post-coup Cabinet members, as part of a timeline I've been developing.
