This is assuming he’d have been found guilty for leading the Nazi government like others were.

Edit: of course it would likely be death, but was wondering what specific means of death would have been carried out for him.

    If Hitler had been captured he’d almost certainly have been captured by the Soviets and the chances he’d make it to Nuremberg are quite slim. He may have been publicly executed or just disappeared. Considering how many soviet lives were lost in WW2 it’d be unsurprising if the officer in charge of his capture didn’t just take matters into their own hands over a personal grudge.

      That is assuming the Soviets would have handed him over. I bet Stalin would have him flown to Moscow for the biggest show trial ever. Ignoring most of his other henious crimes to focus on what he did to the Slavic people of the Soviet Union.

      Followed by a bullet the head unless Stalin would have asked for some special public execution but I doubt it.

    People were a lot more into executions back then. That’d be my guess.

    The last ever lawful execution in Norway was for a traitor politician helping the nazi invasion.

    There’s basically no way he would’ve made it to trial as the soviets took Berlin, but he would’ve been executed like the others.

    Probably something like Mussolini, captured by a random group of soldiers who made sure justice was served. Too bad it never happened, really.

    What was it called when they would strap you to a raft, cover you with milk and honey while also force feeding you milk and honey so that you’re slowly eaten by bugs and birds and stuff while also shitting yourself to death?

    That.

      I’m sure Tucker Carlson would do an interview with him about how well everything in Germany worked when he was in charge
