I know this has been on before, but I can't find it.

Hitler's taking of the Rhineland in 1936 meets with stiff resistance. His forces, heavily outnumbered and outclassed, are easily thrown back by the French with heavy losses. What happens now?

It's possible that the German army might throw Hitler out but to do that the officers would have to break their oath of loyalty. Or the French might invade Germany and throw him out. Or he might survive but greatly weakened politicly.

The French chasing the Wehrmacht back across the Rhine reveals that the German power is just a bluff. All smoke, no substance.
Hitler might loose power altogether, but he´ll certainly run into much more opposition when he makes his next move and this opposition is going to come from inside and outside Germany. Austria, the Sudetenland ... I don´t think he will be able to get anthing done after this.
