Without Hitler there will be no major rise of the NSDAP unless somebody fill the void of Hitler. If there is no NSDAP, it's more likely that a dictator would spring from the DNVP (old-style conservatives), and maybe a restoration of the monarchy. Wasn't the Hohenzollern royal family tainted by Germany's loss in World War I, though? |

Wasn't the Hohenzollern royal family tainted by Germany's loss in World War I, though? A little but there was still a clear movement in conservative quarters for a restoration. This would have been opposed by more radical elements but they might have been swept aside, especially if the army supported the restoration. |

If that's the case, then it's likely we see something of a return to the status quo ante bellum with a focus on stopping the Soviet Union. |

Also, though, would German conservatives have actually wanted the restored German monarch to have a lot of power? Or would they have wanted him to be a pure figurehead? |

Probably like it was in WWI, with some power but with most in the hands of the generalship. |

Probably like it was in WWI, with some power but with most in the hands of the generalship. And with little to no power in the hands of the German Reichstag, correct?  |
