Just a note, the following contains spoilers for the Quentin Tarantino film "Inglourious Basterds". Just thought I'd warn you.

Anyway, in the film, there's a small group of American soldiers dropped into occupied France a significant period of time before D-Day, where they start acting as a guerrila force. Later in the movie, they become part of a plot to kill Hitler and a great portion of the German High Command during the screening of G
oebbels' latest propaganda film.

Despite being a WWII-based film, historical accuracy is the least of Tarantino's concerns - thus, the plot actually succeeds, and Hitler, along with 300 or so of his most important associates, generals and officials, are killed - including Goebbels, G
öring and Bormann.

So, let's say that, in June of 1944, Hitler, Bormann, G
öring and Goebbels are assassinated simultaneously. It doesn't need to be carried out exactly the way it was in the film, there just needs to be a successful co-ordinated assassination against these four key figures. Bonus points if you wipe out some other important individuals, however.
