But Hilter will most likely be dead by 1954. Or at least mentally unable to lead the Reich. Someone will be the leader of Nazi Germany, but not the Furer.
Oh, I agree. But Hitler's vanity may very well be strong enough for him to not step down. He'd probably just be insulated in some delusional wonderland sequestered away in the Bergdorf (he never liked Berlin), giving orders now and then and being told they were carried out when in reality they were being ignored.
With Hitler incapacitated, you'll see Bormann becoming stronger what with his control over the Parteikanzlei and access to the Fuehrer. But Hitler always considered Himmler his most loyal follower, the one who most shared his Nazi vision (unlike Speer, who shared his artistic vision). Again, I see turf war between Bormann and Himmler (assuming Heydrich's dead) once old Adolf kicks the bucket.
