WI: Hitler suffers the full brunt of a gas attack in WWI

On the 15th of October 1918, Adolf Hitler was temporarily blinded during a gas attack in the Ypres salient in Belgium. He was evacuated to a military hospital in Pasewalk, Germany where he learned about Germany's surrender in November.

Now, Hitler was lucky that he was only temporarily blinded, but what if he copped the full brunt of the attack and suffered the same symptoms of having suffered a mustard gas attack, like blisters on the skin, swelling in the throat leading to a sealed airway, etc?
 
Going by the title of the OP, `full blunt of a gas attack` he would be dead

Some other revanchist Prussian comes to power later and DoW's the French.

A-L must be some really great place.
 
God damn it, now you've just given him superpowers.

Yeah but after he tears the asshole who rejected him from art school in half and stomps a few buildings, he probably gets taken down by the military. He didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do very well with superpowers.
 
Actually, now I want to do a timeline of this superpowered Hitler and how he uses his Aryan strength to carve a new empire out of the decadent Weimar Republic, until he is finally stopped by the girl trained from birth to take him down, the Dutch Do-Gooder, the pen to his sword, the author of his ultimate fate, Anne Frank.

You know what I mean. I guess I should've titled it better, but what I meant was, what if he showed physical symptoms associated with being the victim of a mustard gas attack?

Then he'd probably be very very very ill and not long for this world.

Exposure to mustard gas is usually not lethal and most victims recover from their symptoms within several weeks. Some, however, remain permanently disfigured as a result of chemical burns or are rendered permanently blind. Others develop chronic respiratory diseases or infections, which can be fatal. And because mustard gas damages the DNA in human cells, recovered victims are at greater risk for developing certain cancers.

So he's either blind, barely able to breathe and having other nasty infections that could well kill him. And as this is Hitler we're talking about, the good ship Sympathy has set sail in this case and i'd laugh at that evil fucks suffering.

Fair enough. If he was that badly hurt the Spanish flu would have finished him off

What if he is injured, surviving and afterwards taken prisinor of war spending time in British imprisonment for the rest of the war ?
