If Adolf Hitler Had Died On November 10,1923

If Adolf Hitler had died on November 10, 1923 (or during the chaotic shootout on November 9), shortly after the failed Beer Hall Putsch, Germany's trajectory over the next 20 years (1923–1943) would almost certainly have been dramatically different. The most widely accepted view among historians and alternate-history discussions is that the Nazi Party (NSDAP) as we know it would have fragmented, remained marginal, or dissolved entirely, and Germany would have avoided the specific form of genocidal totalitarianism and aggressive world war that defined the 1933–1945 era. Immediate Aftermath (1923–1925) The putsch still fails disastrously: 16 Nazis and 4 police officers die, Ludendorff is arrested (but quickly released due to his prestige), Göring flees wounded, Hess is captured, etc. Without Hitler, the NSDAP loses its most charismatic orator, organizer, and unifying figure. Hitler was already the party's dominant personality by 1923; his death removes the glue holding the fractious völkisch (folkish/nationalist) right together. The party is banned in Bavaria (and effectively nationwide for a time), as in real history. In our timeline, Hitler used his trial and Mein Kampf to rebuild it into a national force. Without him, no sensational trial speech, no bestselling manifesto, and no "martyr" narrative to rally around. Likely successors (e.g., Gregor Strasser, who had organizational talent in northern Germany; Ernst Röhm with the SA paramilitaries; or Alfred Rosenberg/Julius Streicher types) lack Hitler's mass appeal, media savvy, and ability to bridge conservative nationalists, radicals, and the working class. The party probably splinters into regional völkisch groups or merges into larger conservative/nationalist parties like the DNVP (German National People's Party). Mid-1920s: Stabilization and the "Golden Years" of Weimar (1924–1929) The Weimar Republic survives its early crises more comfortably. Hyperinflation ends in late 1923 with the Rentenmark; the Dawes Plan (1924) brings U.S. loans and economic recovery. Without Hitler's NSDAP polling 2–3% in the mid-1920s and then exploding to ~18% in 1930 and ~37% in 1932, the far-right vote stays fragmented among DNVP, smaller nationalist splinter groups, and perhaps a weaker "völkisch" bloc. No rapid Nazi buildup means the Reichstag remains dominated by Social Democrats (SPD), Center Party, liberals, and conservatives. Governments are still unstable coalitions, but the extreme polarization that enabled Hitler's chancellorship in January 1933 doesn't materialize to the same degree. Antisemitism and revanchism persist (deeply rooted in German society), but without a single charismatic vehicle, they don't coalesce into a mass movement capable of seizing total power. Early 1930s: The Great Depression Hits (1929–1933) The Wall Street Crash and German banking collapse still happen. Unemployment soars to 6 million+; Brüning's austerity policies fail. In real history, the Nazis capitalized massively on despair, promising jobs, national revival, and scapegoating Jews/communists. Here, the far-right vote likely goes to: A strengthened DNVP (more traditional monarchist/conservative nationalists). Possibly a militarist/authoritarian movement led by figures like Franz von Papen, Kurt von Schleicher, or even war heroes like Paul von Hindenburg's circle. Communist Party (KPD) still grows strongly on the left. Germany probably gets an authoritarian but non-totalitarian conservative regime around 1932–1933: perhaps a presidential dictatorship under Hindenburg (extended emergency powers), or a "cabinet of barons" that suppresses both communists and radicals without full Nazi-style Gleichschaltung (coordination/total control). No Enabling Act, no Reichstag Fire Decree in the same way, no rapid creation of a one-party police state. 1933–1943: A Different Germany No Nazi dictatorship: No Hitler means no Third Reich, no concentration camps on the same scale, no Holocaust (though antisemitic policies and pogroms might still occur under a right-wing regime, likely far less systematic/genocidal). Governance style: More likely a semi-authoritarian conservative/military regime (similar to interwar authoritarian states in Poland, Portugal, or even early Franco Spain). Rearmament happens (Weimar secretly violated Versailles anyway), but slower and more cautious. No reckless remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936), Anschluss (1938), or Munich Agreement (1938) in the same aggressive form. Foreign policy: Revanchism exists (resentment over Versailles), but without Hitler's racial ideology and Lebensraum obsession, Germany might pursue limited revisionism (e.g., regaining Danzig corridor via diplomacy) rather than total war. Relations with Britain/France could remain tense but avoid all-out confrontation. No World War II as we know it: The cascade to September 1939 (invasion of Poland) becomes much less likely. A conservative German regime might ally with Poland against the USSR or negotiate spheres in Eastern Europe. If war comes, it might be a more limited conflict (e.g., over Danzig) or delayed until later. Internal developments: Economy recovers via public works and rearmament, but without the extreme Nazi command economy and plunder. Jews face discrimination/emigration pressures, but mass extermination is improbable. Political violence (SA street fights, etc.) is lower without unified Nazi paramilitaries. Overall Consensus from Alternate Histories Most serious discussions (e.g., on AlternateHistory.com threads like "8mm to the Left," Reddit, Quora, and historian speculations) conclude: The NSDAP probably fades into obscurity or becomes a minor player. Germany gets a right-wing authoritarian government in the 1930s, but one that is nationalist-conservative rather than radically fascist/racialist. Europe avoids the specific catastrophe of Nazi Germany: no Holocaust, no WWII starting in 1939, potentially millions fewer deaths. But the underlying problems (Versailles resentment, economic fragility, political instability) don't vanish—Germany might still become illiberal, remilitarized, and revanchist, just not apocalyptic. In short: Hitler's death in 1923 likely butterflies away the Third Reich and the deadliest war/genocide in history, leading to a darker but far less catastrophic Germany through the 1930s and early 1940s. The Weimar Republic might limp on as a flawed democracy, evolve into conservative authoritarianism, or even stabilize somewhat.

Over 100 Years Ago, A Twist Of Fate Saved Adolf Hitler's Life

This morning, I am going to introduce you to a woman you have not met and never will meet. Helene Elsse Hanfstaengl was an American citizen born on Long Island. She married a remarkable and wealthy German man, Ernst Hanfstaengl. Fate placed her in Munich, Germany, in early Novermber of 1923. Hitler staged a coup to overthrow the Weimar Republic on November 8-9, 1923. After the coup failed, Hitler took shelter in Ernst and Helene's mansion. The Bavarian police knew exactly where he was hiding. On the morning of November 10, 1923, two truckloads of police surrounded the home. They came inside with a warrant for Hitler's arrest. Hitler came running down the stairs with a pistol in his hand. He announced that he was going to commit suicide to avoid capture. Let us stop right there. If Hitler did this in the modern US, he would have been quickly and unceremoniously shot to death. Fate remained on Hitler's side that morning. In our modern world, many women work as law enforcement officers, military units, and private security. They are well-trained in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat. Many women also take private lessons to learn self-defense. Over 100 years ago, it would have been quite rare for a woman to know the martial arts. Helene was that rare exception. She used a judo move to knock the pistol out of Hitler's hands. Please reflect for a moment. If Helene had not been there, most likely the police would have shot Hitler dead, or he would have killed himself. Please imagine how different the world would have been had Hitler died in 1923. Ernst and Helene became disillusioned with Hitler. They made their way to England, Canada, and the US. Ernst went to work for President Roosevelt. Their son served in the US Army Air Corps.

Why Luigi Mangione "Beat The Death Penalty"

Will Luigi Mangione be executed? The federal judge in the trial of Luigi Mangione has declared that the stalking charges and other aggravating factors do not amount to a capital offence under current federal law. District Judge Margaret Garnett came to this conclusion during a hearing on January 30, 2026, in which she dismissed the most serious charges for the following reasons: Ideologically motivated murders do not constitute terrorism, especially under New York State law, where the murder took place The prosecution failed to prove a wider conspiracy of violence that went beyond the scope of what actually happened — a single murder Travelling through interstate, and using electronic communications for the purpose of stalking the victim did not in itself constitute the “crime of violence” needed to secure the capital offence elements It is also quite suitable that Luigi Mangione would not be executed, regardless of one’s personal opinion on the circumstances of the case, seeing as former President Joe Biden had himself commuted the sentences of all but three federal death row inmates — Dylann Roof, Robert Bowers, and Dzhokar Tsarnaev — shortly before Christmas 2024. Reversing this trend and imposing the death penalty on a defendant over a gunshot-related homicide against a single victim for no other reason than because the person was wealthy, powerful, and well-known among the elites of society, would serve as even more evidence of justice inequality among the millions who have already long become disillusioned by the legal system. Earlier this week, a reported supporter of Luigi Mangione who is known as a Minnesotan by the name of Mark Anderson, was himself arrested and detained when he tried to break into his cell, posing as an FBI agent, so that he could set his idol free. While the attempt failed, I am certain he now feels relieved at the news that Brian Thompson’s alleged killer will never have to face lethal injection over the incident, though the two of them may or may not grow old behind bars together, depending on which way the jury goes. This means that while the terrorism charges have been effectively dropped against Luigi Mangione, the non-capital charges at both the federal level, as well as the murder charge in New York — where the death penalty was struck down as unconstitutional in 2004 — remain in place, and will be the deciding factor in whether or not the social vigilante/assassin of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson walks away a free man or spends the remaining days of his life behind bars when the starting date of the first trial takes place on October 13, 2026. 17.6K views View 193 upvotes View 7 shares 1 of 2 answers
