WI- Hitler Born in Munich

This is a big WI. We all know that Hitler was born in Austria, and since he was in the German Army, he could not be promoted. If he served in the Germany Army as a German, he might be on a completely different Unit, and might even be a Colonel or General.

He was not promoted above corperal because he did not get on with his officers and disliked polishing his boots.
 
Not to mention that in 1918 he was only 29, colonel would be a real stretch to achieve even with his regiments officers dying like flies, general would be completely lunatic.

He was lower middle class, non-academic, lacked a degree and was deemed psychologically unfit. It was very unlikely he would be commissioned and even if he was the rank Colonel would have taken him years to achieve, the rank of General was probably unobtainable due to his social class.
