WI: Female Hitler

Then she wouldn't get into power and would probably just be some artist who wouldn't be remembered. During that time in Germany, women were treated as second class citizens and were not considered viable political candidates. Don't see why this would be much different.

Adelheid Hitler had no chance what so ever to gain 1920s and 1930s any political leadership
but that not the problem, like we german say "behind a strong man is an even stronger woman"

the poor devil that marry this version of Hitler...
Husband dies in WW1. The circumstances put a bee in her bonnet. Gets her involved in veteran organisations...

The challenge is getting her into the political milieu. While she would never get true power it is not hard to imagine having power behind the curtain. There isn't an organised religion on Earth that isn't built on the shoulders of women.
 
Maybe she becomes a writer /philosopher who's ideas go on to influence future generations, though they pick and choose certain things, and so when a future generation makes their war, they are able to wage it more successful with the goal of implanting Hitler's goals, but in a more limited, yet efficient, manner. Basically, Hitler becomes like Ayn Rand, but somebody else actually goes to make those dreams a reality.

Female Hitler? Political career? Difficult without frontline experience from WW1, and the Germans weren't in such a desperate situation for her to pull a Milunka Savić
 
Or maybe she could have a carrier similar to Eva Peron ? Becoming a famous woman of the people popular among the lower classes because she shows their struggle. I'm not sure how much possible this is, because I'm not sure how developped the German radio was, especially for lower classes

Half a century later, a blockbuster musical is created about her?
 
I was more thinking of becoming the wife of a military man and earning him the vote of feminists and lower classes
That's really not something the nationalist right ever really cared about in Germany. Unless this military man was a traitor to his class and joined the SPD, he'd have no use for the votes of feminists and the lower classes, because in early 20th century Germany these groups were all hard-left and diametrically opposed to the nationalists who held even the notion of universal suffrage in disdain.
 
The psychology of Adolf is highly gendered. Adele won’t have the father and mother issues in the same way.

But we are looking at this wrong. Instead of randomizing Hitlers birth: how could a radical racial nationalist movement in Germany have a woman in the leadership clique?

The easiest way is The Mother of The Movement. Artist or Literary Author also works. Mystagogue of the movement. More difficult is a traditional professional “expert”.
 
The PoD for this scenario is that Hitler is born female instead of male. She's still Hitler, though.
An unknown woman who after failing to get into art school in Vienna drifted into prostitution and later died of advanced Syphilis. Arrested frequently for going into violent rages and attacking her customers if they were Jewish.
 
Adolpine Hitler would stay in her village, marry some man of the same or higher social class, or stay unmarried. She may very likely be a painter, but she will be self taught or taught by some local tutor. That’s pretty much it. A young woman of Hitler social class wouldn’t travel to Vienna to live alone, neither would she need to travel to Munich to avoid the draft.
Maybe immigrating.
 
Maybe immigrating.

Hitler was born into a petit bourgeois family, which meant his gender switched counterpart wouldn’t be poor enough to need to emigrate, but too poor to do it for other reasons. Poor women migrated for economic reasons, while rich women had the resources to do so for education of exploration reasons. So unless this female Hitler have a husband who emigrated, she wouldn’t do so, outside freak situations.
 
Bride of Stalin, perhaps?
Adelphine Stalin (1889-1960) was the second spouse of Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin following their marriage in 1916. After moving to Vienna to pursue a career in art she became enamored by the futurist movement and socialism, eventually becoming a left-wing activist. In 1913, she was introduced to Ioseb Dzhugashvili by her close friend Leon Trotsky. Ioseb, who was currently in exile had become attracted by Adelphine's firey spirit began a relationship with her. Eventually, the two would move back to Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution and were married in 1918. Following the war against Goering's Third Reich, she began large female worker campaigns in an attempt to continue wartime production. During her life, she would have one child with her spouse, Sergei Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union from 1962-1980. However, she would not live to see her son's reign dying at 71 years old from lung cancer.
 
wel may not be what the english had in mind but i'm fairly sure if hitler showed up with giant boobs nobody would take him serious anyway :)
Yes, and imagine him having to punctuate his fiery speeches with the frequent, "Hey, I'm up here!"...
