Why does everyone think this would be bad for Hitler?
Germans go back into (German) territory.
Nasty brutal French (communist-inspired) bullies force them out, imposing their rule on the helpless German population again.
Hitler withdraws 'rather than cause civilian casualties as a result of the unfair versailles treaty'
Hitler increases armament spending, even if it causes some civilian shortages, as its obviously needed to defend Germany against French aggression.
Unlikely? Dunno, but I really cant see why a failure should result in Hitler losing power, he had far to strong a grip on it by that point in time.
Based on what evidence, though? There is always lots of stuff about how Hitler only just got away without a coup, but this to me always seems way too much like wishful thinking....He was 30 seconds away from a coup then. As late as 1938 he was on the verge of being toppled by the army over the Sudetenland. I'm not saying Goebels couldn't try to spin it, but the army brass would see it as what it was: Hitler's ridiculously risky bluff being called. They'd have him out doubletime.

OK, Generals, we're going to send a small force into our old territories and see if anyone objects.
If they do, well, we'll come back and spin it so they look bad over it. Under no circumstances will it devolve into anything more.
Just HOW is this grounds for a coup???
Against, lets face it, the 'democraticaly' elected leader of the country.

Ok, you need to get yourself more than one histroy book.Against, lets face it, the 'democraticaly' elected leader of the country.
Get any history book and check the facts.

Sorry, but Hitler was, at least theoretically, elected democraticaly (granted, german ideas of democracy are a bit...flexible..).
