let's say it had succeeded.  You'd have a dead Hitler and the dude who
wrote the Horst Wessel song would write a Hitler song.  Whoever in the
inner circle got ascendancy would have had a great excuse to tighten
security.
Hitler's strategy lost WWII.  In an alternate  timeline somebody more
canny would've maybe not opened 2 fronts, eg.

Real life example: Reichstag fire, the dude according to my info was a
sincere anarchist.  What did his deed accomplish?

Now Hitler in 1923...a lot more tempting...but find a way to embarrass
him publicly instead of kill him, and I'll sign on...
