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.

    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:

    1. execute him on-the-spot
    2. torture him until death
    3. have their own trial for him in Russia before torture/execution.
