Well,if we look at other Nazis,none seem to match Hitlers evil charisma. Its easy to say'Well,another Hitler esque leader will emerge'but IMO its unlikely. The Nazis may simply become another footnote in history[kinda like the Limerick Soviet etc]. I'd still say Weimer Germany is doomed in the long run. Its always going to be looked on as a political unit forged from defeat in War. Versailles is another nail in the coffin for Weimer Germany[reparations,territorial losses being particulary hard to forget]. A communist takeover is a possibility in the early/mid 30s. A military coup to prevent the rise of communists also seems likely. So,its either a Red Germany or a military dictatorship by the early 40s. A possible war with Poland for the Danzig corridor and perhaps some conflict with France. Maybe,a larger war but its unlikely.
Most would be quite content with Hitler's 1939 gains plus Danzig and the Corridor, but not including Bohemia-Moravia (excepting Sudeten).I can see an authoritarian Germany being content with Hitler's 1939 gains plus Danzig and the Corridor; Britain might deal with them as they wouldn't /couldn't with Hitler.
80% chance a more conventional right wing dicatorship- possibly inviting back Willie the stupid to be emporer.
There may be some conflict but they will not provoke a World war, probably
10% chance, somehow Weimar survives
10% chance, some kind of lefty regime- not too democratic.

It's the gamble thing, really. Most leaders wouldn't really be willing to go back on their promises to the west in such a blatant way without more important (nationalistic) gains, or so early. The claims on Polish-controlled lands was generally seen as far more important then even Sudeten, let alone the remained of Czechia. It's likelier that the German leaders would bully the Czechs into conceding lots of special rights for the Germans, IMO.From a nationalistic standpoint, yes, but that makes the borders much harder to defend; the military won't like that. Plus, there are still a lot of Germans in Prague to liberate. Nevermind that there are also Czechs; people weren't too big on the rights of small nations back then.

The claim on the area's traditional German connection was even better then them just being a part of the Crown Lands of Austria-Hungary: they had been a quite important part of the Kingdom of Germany, and had, in fact, been the Emperor's place of residence of residence for a while.Well, they might still take it later, if and when there's a fight with France (it was "ancient German lands", after all, being a key part of the Crown's Lands of A-H), but in the short term, I agree, you're right.
