Reichswehr Administrative Error Assigns Hitler to Embassy Protection 1920-1934

[Chiron]

As the tin says, instead of being discharged, Hitler is promoted to Unteroffizier assigned to the Diplomatic Mission to the US to reopen relations and he is essentially stuck in the US till 1934, being promoted, and prompted to marry whether he wants to or not by military traditions for a man of his rank. It isn't till 1934 that someone realizes the Clerical Errors and grants Hitler's wish to be discharged from service and return home to Germany. By which point he is married with 3 daughters ages 4 to 8 and another child on the way, and after 20 years service he is entitled to the pension of a Feldwebel.

Where does he go from here.

For one, he is repulsed by the spread of anti-Semitism in Germany due to his wife being Jewish and managing to convince him that not all Jews are bad.

He returns to a military dictatorship comparable to Franco or Horothy in the form of von Schleicher. You probably see a limited military buildup of Germany and then a Molotov-Ribbentrop style division of Poland and zones of influence established in the Baltic between Germany and the USSR.

Kurt von Schleicher might be willing to allow a rump Poland to exist in Posen + Gdynia (connected to the rest of Poland by an extraterritorial road) + Congress Poland, no? But he'd have no problem with the USSR expanding up to the Curzon Line. As for the Baltics, Lithuania would be in the German zone, Estonia in the Soviet zone, and Latvia neutral, correct?

If Germany rearms at the same rate, I wonder if it's going to give security guarantees to Romania or to allow the USSR to conquer some Romanian territory.

That, or he stays in the US to persue his dream of being an artist and is on good terms with his British-American nephew William Patrick Stuart-Houston.

EDIT: I've seen some of his pre-WWI artwork. It's not the kind of thing that'll get you into a prestegious art college or see in a museum but is the kind of unobtrusive thing you might think would look decent on a wall in someone's home.

Hitler's art would have looked good on postcards, frankly.
