Assuming Adolf Hitler had been captured alive during the Battle of Berlin..What would have been his fate?
Well after the Great War, the Kaiser tried to get asylum in the UK. Nothing would surprise me. Again, the US gave half the Germen rocket men asylum, while the USSR took the other halk. France allowed the Waffen SS to join the FFF in droves.
A show trial in Moscow? But it's hard to believe that Hitler or any other Nazi would have willingly surrendeed to the Russians.
(I have a feeling that all the defendants at Nuremberg had surrendered to the British or Americans but not sure about that)
Surely it's obvious? Hitler would have been added to the line of defendants at the Nuremberg Trials and probably hanged shortly thereafter.
He probably had to face the anger of Stalin and for he knew that, as well as he expected to get the same "treatment" as his "friend" Mussolini, he preferred to kill himself.
On the other hand, but just on the pressure of the Western Allies, he had to face the Nuremberg Tribunal and sentenced to "Death by hanging", like some of his fellows.
