One interesting theory I heard was the the US and Britain were trying to keep Hitler alive, because he was his own worst enemy. Had he been killed off during WWII, someone competent might have taken over and extended the war.
- nolok 13y agoIt's not a theory since the official documents on it have been declassified nowadays, you can find the details on wikipedia, short version is they tried to get him killed but after a couple of years they realized he was not a very good military tactician yet still imposed his ideas/choices to the generals, so having him alive was beneficial to the allies. Unsurprisingly this is roughly at this point that German's generals plots to kill him from inside started, although their reasons were more complicated.
