THIS thread, what if Herr Hitler dies on June the 24th, 1940, in Paris? Not by being blown up, shot, or even attacked, but by accident. How doesn't really matter, perhaps he chokes to death on his last meal, or perhaps slips and falls in the tub, whatever. So Mr Mustache is removed from history, but France has just fallen as OTL, so Norway/Denmark and everything else prior to the 24th remains as OTL.
What happens now?
For myself, I'm thinking that the Germans offer terms.
All fighting stops.
All German territorial losses (in Europe) of WWI are revoked.
The Anschluss with Austria is recognized.
All newly restored German Territory will be sorted out at the peace table.
So, in the East, Poland looses and former German lands, but this is understood to be something other than "Poland looses/Germany gains" in absolute terms kinda thing, but rather the disputed lands and issues will be resolved as part of the permanent peace treaty. Poland will BE, and will be granted free and unrestricted access to world markets/trade, no matter any other terms and conditions, to be guaranteed in writing, right from the start. Possibly the mixed German/Polish lands will be outside both nations.
In the South East, the Sudetenland will NOT be part of Czechoslovakia, but may also not be part of Germany, like the mixed German/Polish lands, these mixed German/Czech lands might not be part of either country.
In the west, the disputed lands with France, where the populations are mixed German/French, these lands too might not end up in either nation.
Generous reparations payments made to those that have suffered the restoration of German lands and rights in the fighting are on the table.
SO...
