This is meant as more or less serious and at semi plausible. Might be a short discussion but thought I would still post it.
Germany is able to extend the war slightly. Germany is able to get a little more fuel for its armies, a couple of additional convoys were wrecked, the Soviet armies get hurt slightly worse than they were historically (which was already pretty bad), storms prevented the Western Allies from landing in Normandy for a couple of months, etc. Lets say that in August 1945, Germany is still holding out at least at its borders and does not look like they going to collapse immediately. Hitler is also still in charge and not a drooling vegetable. He looked very ill at the end so don't know how a few extra months would effect his health.
Brings me up so thoughts
1. What would be the primary target? Would it be Berlin? Berlin by the time German fell was already pretty bombed out so don't know how much good it would do?
2. Assuming the bomb killed Hitler, what would be the reaction by Germany? Would generals try to seize power? Would the SS try to seize power? Who would win between them? Would Germany immediately surrender?
3. Assuming that Hitler's incredible luck holds and he survives and still has contact with the rest of Germany, same questions. Would generals try to seize power? Would the SS try to seize power? Who would win between them and/or with Hitler? Would Germany immediately surrender? Assuming that Mussolini was killed in a similar manner to history and Hitler not caring if the country down in flames if he is dead, he knows he is dead if the nation surrenders.
