WI: Nazi Germany goes bankrupt before WW2?

Its unfortunate, but the difference between fool and genius is often just luck. Hitler could have been stopped in his gambles by a bullet a few inches to the left during the beer hall putsch, a few points in the last real election, a solid pushback during the Rheinland crisis, Stalin trusting his own agents, etc. If any of those had gone wrong he would have a reputation more like Mussolini than his current "evil genius" reputation.
