Question: What if Hitler died in WWI!?
There was a story of a British soldier in WWI!. He was wounded on No Man's Land, not to far from him was a German soldier who was even more wounded than him and had no rifle!. This British soldier rose his rifle to take the kill but chose not to since he felt he had an unfair advantage if he killed him since he had no rifle!. The German soldier realized the British soldier had not killed him!. These two enemies then talked to each other!. This British soldier soon become a hero of WWI, paintings, sculptures and stories were made of him!.
When Winston Churchill went to Germany to sign the contract that he would not invade Poland, Churchill was told to wait outside Hitler's office!. Churchill noticed that there was a statue of the legendary British soldier and he asked why Hitler had this statue!. Hitler replied, "That man saved my life!." Guess who the wounded German soldier was!. Fact or Fiction, who knows
My main question is: What if Hitler was killed in World War One!. How would today's world be different!?
One thing I can think of is that Israel would not be around today if he was killed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Things could actually have been worse had Hitler died!. Remember, he didn't create the mood in Germany at the time, he just played it up expertly to wind up in power!.
The war almost certainly would have have happened considering the hatred among Germans following Versailles!. also, since anti Semitism was widespread, the concentration camps would probably have happened also, but to what extent!?
The thing is, had all this happened anyway, what if it were under a leader who had the sense not to meddle in everything from weapons development to troop deployments!. The German war machine was very potent and had they not been hampered at every turn by that nut case, the war might very well have had a different ending!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
The British Soldier you refer to is Private Henry Tandey VC!.
Hitler had the picture on his wall in his drawing room at the Bergtesgarten!. Chamberlain asked him why he had a picture of a British Soldier on his wall and Hitler pointed at Tandey and said "This is the man that nearly shot me"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I think someone would have taken his place and started WWII just because so many Germans were upset by the Treaty of Versailles!. However, the world would have been likely spared the Holocaust and therefore, the population of the world today would be slightly higher!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I always thought it was Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain who travelled to Germany pre World War Two!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
The german army intended to make a new war after WWI!. But it would not have been so racist and perhaps limited to France, england and germany!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Indeed! No Israel and Palestine, can you imagine, one war less!?
People wouldn't be warned about the dangers of racism, 11 september would have drawn much more rage, more anti muslim laws and there would be a good possibility the society collapsed!.
Furthermore the economic crisis in europe around ww2 would have ended differently!.
Should there be a marshall plan when there wouldn't have been a war!? The marshall plan was something like: "we give you money to help your economy, but you may not go with communism!." Communism was quite popular around that time!.
edit; 'cs Their religion the jews shouldn't work with !.!.!.trade unions!? Therefore the jews had own buisnesses and had much money!. That made the German people angry: the Treaty of Versailles made everyone poor, and the jews still had money!. The simplistic version of the story was something like; "hitler said, lets blame the jews!"Www@QuestionHome@Com
