If Hitler would of died in the early days of war it would made a impact and Germany could of possibly won the war. The person who would of took over would of probably worked with Japan and stalled out the attack on America. Germany would of also probably not started the final solution as soon as they did and it would of been pushed back. Germany still had England and Russia to deal with and a smart commander does not expose himself on two fronts. If the Germans did not start the camps in the 1941 they would of had far more resources to work with and would of been able to do more damage. I have a question for you then IATIA, if Pearl Harbor had been pushed back, would the U.S of entered the war anyways as soon as England was defeated?Germany was incapable of defeating England because it didn't have the means to invade it.
The one possible victory strategy was starvation vis commerce war, but Barbarossa scuppered that because the tanks got the steel rather than the U-boats.
