Hanging, like the others:
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.
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.
I think this answer kinda misses the point
An accurate, non Euro / Western centric answer missed the point even though this is a likely and valid outcome???
OP wasn't asking for an accurate answer. The question presupposes Hitler is convicted in the Nuremberg trials.
The likely and valid outcome is what actually happened . The proper answer to the question is not to come up with another hypothetical
Any answer would be hypothetical by definition... Not sure what's your point there.
If somebody asks what would happen in hypothetical A, don't come up with a hypothetical B
It's not though. The question makes the assumption that he would have been handed over for the Nuremberg trials.
But the Soviets were fucking ruthless against Nazi Germany. They were REALLY driven by hatred for them. If a Nazi soldier surrendered to Russians, a summary bullet to the head was often the more merciful outcome.
And it was the Russians that would have found Hitler first, so it's far more likely that they would:
- execute him on-the-spot
- torture him until death
- have their own trial for him in Russia before torture/execution.
It's not though. The question makes the assumption that he would have been handed over for the Nuremberg trials.
It absolutely misses the point, and so have you. It is a hypothetical whereby he was captured, turned over to the Nuremberg trials, and found guilty. That's the basis of the hypothetical. Saying that wouldn't have happened absolutely misses the point of the hypothetical.
Well in the unlikely event that he did turn up at Nuremberg, he'd be hanged just like the top ranking Nazi officials were.
But if Hitler was captured, there's a slim-to-none chance he's living to even see that trial, much less attend it.
It would drag on for years and eventually US Republicans would be calling it a "peaceful political movement"
I'm sure Tucker Carlson would do an interview with him about how well everything in Germany worked when he was in charge
“is it true you guys implemented a cart-return system utilizing a quarter as collateral? i just want to say, big fan. brilliant.
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.
They would have uploaded his brain into a supercomputer and then forced him to experience death six million times over.
Just kidding, he would have been executed like many many other war criminals throughout history.
He'd have been hanged.
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 think you may have misunderstood the talk about "The birds and the bees".
Scaphism, although the historicity of it is questionable
How about the old "salted feet and goats" trick
This comment made my toes clench
Hung from his nut.
Did he only have one testicle or was that a typo? I don’t want to google if hitler had one testicle…
+1…Boost…LOL…I believe the bastard had one testicle and he was vegan who did not drink alcohol and smoke.
The trial probably would've lasted a very short time, and then he would've been hanged in 1946 or 1947.
Not a realistic outcome, but he deserved to have been blood eagled. Real torture/execution or not, he's one of few to really earn it. Fuck that guy
