From the New York Times on this day in 1924:

HITLER TAMED BY PRISON.
Released on Parole, He is Expected to Return to Austria

BERLIN. Dec. 20. - Adolph Hitler, once the demi-god of the reactionary extremists, was released on parole from imprisonment at Fortress Landsberg, Bavaria, today and immediately left in an auto for Munich. He looked a much sadder and wiser man today than last Spring when he, with Ludendorff and other radical extremists, appeared before a Munich court charged with conspiracy to overthrow the Government.

His behavior during imprisonment convinced the authorities that, like his political organization, known as the Völkischer, was no longer to be feared. It is believed he will retire to private life and return to Austria, the county of his birth.

Also, what if he had actually retired to private in Austria? How would the world be different today?

Anne Frank would have been on her second book.

There's a book called Making History by Stephen Fry that involves Hitler never being born.

I don't get it.

Have you some kind of proof that he reoffended?

Hitler had only one big ball,
Göring had two but they were small,
Himmler had something sim'lar,
But poor old Goebbels had no balls at all.

Hande hoche!

Glorious progressive Stalinism would have triumphed comrade.

We would be far less technologically advanced in all likelihood.

No moon landing conspiracies because there would have been no moon landing.

Yes, just think of the developments that had their genesis in WW2:

Without Hitler: No atom bomb, No jet planes, No ICBMs or satellite TV, No Israel. JFK would have lived to a ripe old age. Hmmm

Micro electronics came after WW2 so maybe laptops, mobile phones, tablets and game consoles are not Hitler dependant developments.

Hitler didn't create the Soviet Union. Chances are we would have seen an actual nuclear war between the US and the Soviets, and we all in Europe (at least for a while) be speaking Russian.

Probably it would be more socially acceptable to call your kid Adolf, and there would be more Charlie Chaplin style moustaches

We would have been deprived of this masterpiece...
