Could Hitler realistically have had any hope of surviving, whether in power or in hiding?

Also, could he have survived the Nuremberg Trials?

>in power
probably but the various issues he had would probably cause a quicker death
>in hiding
fat chance, all those issues would be far far worse with an extremely limited access to medical treatment, not to mention the chance he would have just killed himself anyway since his entire ideology was shattered
>>
Why would he want to? A quarter of his country was wiped out to extinction and the rest became a partitioned vassal state
>>
>>18005307
From the start he had explicitly tied his destiny to that of the nation. If the nation dies then so does he. It would have been hypocritical for him to live

>a quarter of Germans died
Gonna need some death certificates to prove this little buddy.

>>18005297
When?
>>
>>18005315
1945, or you could take this exercise back to 1944 or 1943, too, 1942 if you really need to.

I think by '42 or '43 there is a chance for survival with massive political concessions. Giving up France and Benelux and easing up on the genocide (and hiding what happened so far), to buy peace in the west.
But even that is flimsy.
After backstabbing Stalin there is no chance for negotiations in the East with a stable long time border.
After Dday succeeds there is no negotiations in the West, only capitulation, so Hitler could flee and hide, but that is it. Hitler had prepared the alps as a redoubt, but he refused to leave Berlin. He could have probably sat there in some cave bunker and make the allies pay in blood for every step, but that is just delaying the inevitable. Escape into obscurity in South America or something would have been possible, but Hitler could not have lived like that.

Hitler's health was in serious decline in the 1940s, especially by mid-to-late war.
