Would Hitler have taken power if Germany had kept a monarchy?

In Germany it is more likely that the Kaiser would not tolerate a person like Hitler so even in a constitutional Monarchy he could make sure that Hitler was not the Chancellor. Also it is doubtful that the Natioanl Socialist Workers Party would be anywhere near as powerful with a Monarch on the throne.
 
Actually the Crown Prince supported the Nazis until the Night of the Long Knives and thought that Hitler would allow a restoration of the monarchy. The fourth eldest son was a General in the SA.

Much like other traditional conservatives in Germany, the Kaiser and his family gave the Nazis some lukewarm support in hopes of having the monarchy restored; when it became clear that Hitler had no intention of doing so relations between the exiled royal family and the Nazis quickly cooled.

It's worth mentioning that August Wilhelm (the son who joined the Nazis) was basically disowned by his father for doing so.
 
Hitler isn't important, though. What's important is; does Germany still remilitarize, do they still invade Czechoslovakia and Poland?
 
That makes no sense at all. That's like saying, I had spaghetti for dinner tonight, therefore everyone named John must have had spaghetti tonight.

In Italy, the monarchy was essentially the ruling house of a corner of Italy imposed over the whole country, whereas in Germany the Kaiser was also King of Prussia, by several orders of magnitude the most powerful part of the German Empire, so he was a much more significant figure in Germany than was the Italian King.

I do not think a personality cult would have been possible with a Kaiser in place. On top of that, the conservatives that backed Hitler would have no reason to if there was a monarch.

Italy was a constitutional monarchy and Mussolini came to power after his
"March on Rome." So to answer your question, yes, Hitler would have come to
power if Germany had been a constitutional monarchy.
 
If some kind of Constitutional Monarchy had emerged in Germany in 1918- with I would guess Willie the stupid's son on the thrown would it have had any effect on the rise of the monster?
In OTL Romania had a constitutional monarchy and King Micheal was fairly popular. That didn't keep Romania from becoming a Fascist(sp?) allied of Germany during WWII. My point is that it was due to the weakness of the German government, not the form of that government, that allowed Hitler to seze power.
 
It was the weakness of the Weimar Republic that allowed Hitler to sieze power and he was only able to do that when Hindenburg died. With a Monarch on the throne the situtation would not be the same. It is doubtful if Hitler would be more than a minor footnote in history.
