What If the Allies Captured Hitler Alive During WW2

Can you imagine if he actually went to trial. The amount of charges against him would be insane

The fact that he refused to leave Berlin means that he intended to commit suicide the whole time….he was also fearful that his own people would drug him and hand him over to the Allies/Russians to save themselves,hitler’s paranoia was unbounded and was reinforced with the attempted assassination by a group of dissident Wehrmacht officers,so I doubt that any of these scenarios though plausible was possible….

If he was captured by the soviets I can only imagine what they would have done to him. The tortures he would have endured would have been crazy

At the end of the day, he took his own life instead of standing by his convictions and looking the people he wronged in the eye. What a pathetic coward. I wonder how many of our world leaders would have followed his example...

if he forgot his “suicide kit” he most likely would’ve just shot himself with his or one of his men’s weapons

My thoughts are that there was always a 0% chance of him ever being captured alive after 1939 - even if he wasn't determined to avoid capture at all costs - there arguably wouldn't have been an allied solider on the planet who wouldn't have pulled the trigger at that point. The reality is that any witnesses would likely have agreed to remain silent on it, even in the event of being tried for it there would be massive negative publicity for any punishment dished out in that situation, especially as it would presumably involve multiple soldiers as none would admit to it or grass their comrade in. History has told us plenty of times that this is generally the way it goes down, it's rare that someone of that standing makes it out to stand trial, especially in the days before cameras were in most pockets within 100 metres!

Short answer: He would've met the same fate as most of the Nuremberg defendants.

If the Soviets captured him in the bunker I don't even think he would've left Germany, the sure that man would've been "Mussolinied"🤣🤣

9:25 Again in all these scenarios, he would have rather killed himself than be captured. So instead of dropping the gun, he would have shot himself from what we have seen happen in the real world

I’d imagine he would be brutally tortured. Like I’m talking cartel types of torture

"The allies saw these genocidal plans. This angered the allies who punished him severely"

If WWII was prevented in Europe, I wonder what Japan would've done. Maybe when they hear about the quick defeat of the Nazis by the Allies, they decide that provoking the United States and its allies isn't worth it.

Stalin: There can be only one moustache.

As if Stalin is innocent

Shakes in fear? he ran through gunfire and artillery to deliver letters in ww1 for fun.

I can't be the only one to think that killing him is letting him off too easy

The scenario where he used the trial as a platform and inspired a small but outspoken minority actually happened. When he first tried to take power by force and was stopped, he was put on trial. During his trial, he did just that. He garnered a lot of sympathy and used the trial to bring attention to his cause.

The thing is... how can these videos be so real like a historical movie?

*Worst possible case scenario for a defense lawyer EVER* No chance of a light sentence!!

Im sure if they captured him there would have been intense torture eventually leading up to his death too many people hated him for personal losses to give him a quick death or to let him see the light of day.

"Anyone can deal with victory. Only the mighty can bear defeat." - A. H.

literal ww2 fan fic

I doubt he would have been given the Napoleon treatment: living the rest of his days on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere.

6:50 Yup, that could have happened if they had given him a platform to speak. He was an excellent speech giver and used to captivate everyone with his speech

Idea for a video: what if the nazis never invaded stalingrad, was this going to make a difference in this world nowadays?

Churchill had prepared a cell for him in the Tower of London.

Thanks for the upload!

Don’t forget, Poland was attacked by both Germany and The Soviet Union as part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact. So the Allies would most likely have had to battle the Red Army in the beginning of the war.

"How to say you're out of topics without saying you're out of topics"

If he realised he couldn't commit suicide but then realised they were going to blow open the door of the bunker with explosives, wouldn't that have been the time to not dive out of the way lol

If captured alive in 1945 by the Soviet Union I assume he would've had a show trial leading to conviction and likely a death sentence with no permission for him to make any kind of argument or statements. The big question for me is if it would've been a quick trial of one or a few days, or a long, drawn-out trial lasting weeks. And if captured alive in 1945 by USA, France or Britain I'll assume his case would've been heard as one of the Nuremburg trials which was a process where defendants were allowed to make counteraguments. I think he still would've been convicted with a death sentence same as military commanders Keitel and Jodl as well as foreign minister von Ribbentrop who were tried there.

Back then, even the Soviets were monsters.

go through all the trouble of building a bunker and don't even have a secret escape tunnel built?

The scenario where he is allowed to defend himself in trial in Moscow, gets rescued by his sympathizers and builds up his power in South America to start WW3 sounds like something that would make perfect alt history mod for Hearts of Iron 4

WW2 Fan fiction lol

Great video great job , keep up the great work !

As a wise man once said "don't defeat an idiot by being an idiot"

Charlie Chaplin shaves off his mustache immediately

Good job with the possibles scenarios shown here. There is one aspect left behind and not considered... The capture OR death sentence of Adolf could have made him a reason to fight (if captured) or a martyr (if killed) in the view of his followers. It´s a long shot, but not impossible aspect.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!

There's no way he'd drop his pistol. He'd try and cut down as many allies as he can before he'd be killed.

You described this alt history so well it sounds like it was real, good job

1:29 The Soviets didnt fight for Germany in a few months, they had fought 4 years, and no, they did take prisoners

second scenario nearly happened in 1943 during Soviet winter offensive after Stalingrad. They were like 100 km away from hitler's location but the didn't know it

“You’re going down, big man”💀

If the current USA would had caught him. We would had traded him for someone much more underwhelming.

Video Idea: What if operation valkyrie was successful.

your vids are all ways so entertaining

They probably would have killed him and claimed he committed suicide.

No ways this vid has 4M views and only has 400 likes

This was a very interesting idea, great video

Here we go again, infographics answering questions I didn't know I was gonna ask

What if he left Berlin and helped with operation werwolf? Could that change the course of the war?

His arrogance made him think that he and Germany were invincible so it probably wasn’t a thought

You should do a video on Churchill's crimes in india and Africa

Torturous effects of withdrawal itself would be all they need for effective nterrogation

Im 19 now but I’ve been enjoying your vids since I was 9 you made learning fun for me and even tho I use to hate school you made learning fun and you have thought me so so much thank you for that I love you guys never stop what you do is truly amazing and you deserve the best

You gotta be the most consistent RU-vidr ever

What if the USA never participated in WWI? That would have taken Churchill not loading arms on passenger ships.

I like how this guy portraits the soviets as innocent people as if Stalin didn't killed millions.

What if capturing Pfizer, Claus Swab and Bill Gates alive?

Your videos are very entertaining,informative and interesting,keep it up!

I have always wanted to see a video like this and I could never find a video about this what if even when searching it up or recommending the idea to channels like alternative history hub so thanks for finally making one of my what if thiughts a reality

The NKVD wouldve treated him very humanely.

I liked the third one. The Allies just going “Nah, we’re not doing this today, F off” is hilarious to me for some reason.

If the Nazis were stopped early on, I wonder what this would have meant for Japan. Would there still have been an eventual conflict with Japan? Would Japan still attempt Pearl Harbor to control their Pacific interests? I think conflict with Japan would have definitely come sooner or later with their imperial expansion. Also rises the question with the Soviet Union, without the advancements of Von Braun in WW2, would there have been a Cold War? What could the Soviet Union have been?

"Reprimanded by Stalin" That's a polite way to put it.

For a sec I thought I read “what would happen if Hitlar was captured by Aliens?”

The final scenario shows why it is best to intervene early rather than when it’s too late. This could be applied to the current conflict in Ukraine, but the nuclear deterrent complicates things

This would be a great idea for a movie.

The Soviet Air Force chief of staff in WW2 was Armenian air marshal Sergei Khudyakov He was in the Yalta Conference 1945 standing behind Stalin

I really enjoy your videos and this was no exception. I would of liked to hear your thoughts on how this would of affected the German economy and the Treaty of Versailles.

this is interesting and i enjoyed watching-the infographics does it again!(not that im a nerd or anything😅🤓🤣)

I doubt WWII could have been stopped only delayed. If it happened much later nuclear weapons would have been available to both side.

Bro got kidnapped by the aliens

This is the future of on screen entertainment! Bravo

if the scenario with himmler ever happened, the nazis wouldve still lose since they were losing on the production game aginst the US and UK by a decent shot, wich means there wouldve been a larger scale d-day wich woudlve been a sucess, and with that the ussr woudlve been incentivized to break the non aggression pact to consolidate further power and spread communism it germany. the scenario would (maybe) then evolve in a cold war if germany was totally deomcratic instead of split between east and west, as the allies woudlve probably made it to berlin first in this scenario

Respect To The Camera Man Who Went Back In Time For Us

These are so many scenarios on which so many interesting movies or series can be made lol

I know a lot of soldiers took Lugers as trophies, bit it’s not very likely they will use it in actual combat, let alone all the way to Berlin since they probably have very limited ammo

He would have been torn to pieces buy the Soviet troops

2:46 Tanks run over the countryside with a hay field and wagon... but the machinery to make large round hay bales was not invented until the early 1970s.

Infographics love the mustache man 💀

I’m sure if he wanted to survive if he would’ve fled and gone into hiding somewhere weeks or months before Russia arrived.

Love that i misread allies as aliens. History sure got intresting for a moment.

Ah yes Soviets with Thomsons and m1 garands and with lugers to

needless to say: Some people have no moral compass, some folks have to die.

imagine being hitlers lawler 💀

"Walter P38" Proceeds to show a Luger

"Follow me and ponder the question....What if?" *Jeffery Wright voice* I love what-ifs on this channel so do more, Infographics!

I am a non-native English speaker and I find it amusing to watch educational videos on youtube. Even though I can understand the majority of content made in English, sometimes I can't understand you, I think you say your "r" so strong. I like your content and appreciate the time you take for creating it. But your accent is too difficult to get.

I’ve had him over for tea and I agreed with everything he said in order to boost my ratings.

You show Tiger tanks rolling into Poland in1939. The Tiger wasn't introduced until August 1942.

there's no way he could have restarted the movement after being captured. towards the end of the war he abandoned his public speaking, because he had lost his main talent. his talent was his ability to read a crowd and know exactly what they wanted him to say and say it. but by the end of the war, the crowds didn't want him to say any more about invading, killing, exterminating. at a trial the only people who would go in person would be very hostile. also those closest to him, and his generals, described how nearing the end of the war he basically went crazy. he was so narcissistic and in denial that they could possibly lose that if generals ever retreated he would fire them or even execute them, so most in that situation committed suicide. he was fighting on too many fronts and spread his troops way to thin especially on the eastern front. a general would say 'we have no tanks, we have lost most of the division and there are only a few hundred soldiers left riddled with disease vs fit Russians with heavy artillery' and he would just say 'but our soldiers are germans, if we lose then its your fault' and was basically throwing away all the resources he had left. if he somehow ascended to power again this would only continue and it would be a very swift downfall. he become shaky, with a limp, skinny, pale, and ill, he was not fit for public presentation or speaking and had frequent psychological breakdowns. for months before they even neared Berlin he was refusing to leave his bunker and made most generals come to him in his hole for meetings.

this video was incredibly well done

14:11 you nailed this scene ✅

Can you please do some alternate WW1 scenarios?

I kinda wish there was a movie about the second version

Bruh I thought it said aliens
