Having recently read Ian Kershaw's excellent The End: Hitlers Germany 1944-1945, in which Kershaw describes a quite negative response to the July 20th bomb plot, I wondered what would actually happen should it succeed? There have been a few TLs on this, but most seem to assume most of Germany would react positively to the plot. What do you think would have happened? Personally, I believe Germany would have fallen into chaos, and the war would have been shortened by months; IOTL, the attempt provided the Nazi regime a chance to really up the ante on it's extremism and fanaticism, creating the Volkswehr, initiatin Goebbels' Total war etc.
