Timeline (Let's Kill Hitler)

Let's Kill Hitler is an alternate timeline in which Adolf Hitler and many other high-ranking Nazi Party officials were assassinated. After Hitler and his staff are killed, Nazi Germany fractures into several factions fighting for power. Germany collapses into civil war, and this alternate history explores the possibilities that could have resulted from Hitler's assassination.

1939

 * November 8th - Adolf Hitler and many other high-ranking Nazi Party officials are killed in an explosion in the Bürgerbräukeller in the middle of Hitler's annual address at the Beer Hall Putsch anniversary. The perpetrator of the bombing, Georg Elser, flees to Britain.
 * November 9th - Hitler is given a state funeral. His body is flown to Berlin where it is buried.
 * November 10th - A collective state funeral is held for the other high-ranking officials in Hitler's entourage: Joseph Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, Rudolf Hess, Robert Ley, Alfred Rosenberg, Julius Streicher, August Frank, Hermann Esser and Heinrich Himmler.
 * November 11th - The office of Führer, which was held by Hitler himself, is dissolved and separated again into the positions of Reichspräsident and Reichskanzler. Martin Bormann, as the highest ranking Nazi official still living, declares himself the new Chancellor with little resistance. He appoints Hermann Göring as President.
 * November 15th - The Communist Party of Germany (KPD) gains prominence in Berlin. Its militia attacks the Reichstag and Reich Chancellery. In the ensuing brawl, the SS and SA fight against the Communists. The populace of Berlin, now no longer under Hitler's shadow, fractures and fights against each other for control of the city. The Communists ultimately win and declare the collapse of the Nazi regime and the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Germany (Sozialistrepublik Deutschland)
 * November 16th - The Wehrmacht forces stationed in Berlin, with the defeat of the SS and SA, march into the city to put down the revolt. In the chaos, Bormann, Göring and the other Nazis flee Berlin and head to Munich, where support for the Nazis is at its strongest. They reestablish the Nazi government in Munich.
