This is one I've been interested in. Would the soldiers shoot him on the spot? Arrest, trial, then shooting? He escapes and forms a Nazi goverment-in-exile in Japan? He goes to jail for life? What would this butterfly?
Wasn't there a special jet in Berlin that was there just in case Hitler wanted to escape from the besieged city?
Meh. It would have been brought down pretty quick by Allied or Soviet aircraft, and besides, he didn't have much to run to. Didn't the Sovs capture the airport at some point before the end anyway? Either way, if he didn't commit suicide, either one of his officers would 'euthanise' him or the Soviets would have the greatest trophy of all time to burn.
Don't quote me on this, but I read somewhere that the jet present was one of the new experimental models which would have certainly avoided the AA bateries present at the time.
To be honest, that sounds like something from the history channel.Don't quote me on this, but I read somewhere that the jet present was one of the new experimental models which would have certainly avoided the AA bateries present at the time.
If he'd died actually fighting in the defense of Berlin and avoided suicide as the 'cowards way out' the potentially he'd be viewed differently by some groups.
