Suppose Elser succeeded, and in doing so, kills Hitler, Goebbles, and Goering. What would happen next? My belief is that Himmler would take control as he was one of the most powerful people in Nazi Germany and could outmaneuver any potential opponents, though I'd like to hear of other, more creative successors. I don't know if it'll impact the war too much as most of the German war leadership remains alive, but they'll be a definite change nevertheless, though I'm not well tuned on Nazi military history to really say how. What do you think?
