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.

      That is assuming the Soviets would have handed him over. I bet Stalin would have him flown to Moscow for the biggest show trial ever. Ignoring most of his other henious crimes to focus on what he did to the Slavic people of the Soviet Union.

      Followed by a bullet the head unless Stalin would have asked for some special public execution but I doubt it.

    It would drag on for years and eventually US Republicans would be calling it a “peaceful political movement”

    People were a lot more into executions back then. That’d be my guess.

    The last ever lawful execution in Norway was for a traitor politician helping the nazi invasion.

    They would have uploaded his brain into a supercomputer and then forced him to experience death six million times over.

    Just kidding, he would have been executed like many many other war criminals throughout history.

    Probably something like Mussolini, captured by a random group of soldiers who made sure justice was served. Too bad it never happened, really.

    The trial probably would’ve lasted a very short time, and then he would’ve been hanged in 1946 or 1947.
