What if the 20th of July 1944 Hitler has been "terminated"

Too many variables. How would the German population react? Who would have taken charge, the generals or someone from the party? Would the population support the successor? Assuming the war continued (and domestic peace continued), how would the fighting be affected? How much would the German military benefit from the removal of Hitler's interference?

I do not believe that the Western Allies would have made peace with Germany in July of '44 without the Soviets. Any peace deal between the West and Germany would also have included a settlement of some kind for the Soviets. If the Germans were not prepared to agree to such terms, the war would have continued even without Hitler. I see no plausible way for Germany to make peace in the west and continue to fight in the east.

Ugh. Very few people from the Nazi party would take charge of any meaningful post.

The leader would be Ludwig Beck, which had the respect of the military and the conservative elements of society. He was by all means a respected and conciliatory person to lead Germany.

At that point, I don't think it would change much. Allies would have demanded unconditional surrender anyway.

Beck was slated to take over in the plot, but this assumes that the post-hit coup was successful. Himmler was not going to go down easily.
