It's been suggested that as late as early 1943, had Hitler died suddenly,
competent generals like von Manstein could have salvaged a stalemate and
eventual ceasefire on the Eastern Front, which would in turn have freed up
enough resources to stall Allied efforts in the West. (Even after D-Day,
well over half of Germany's war effort went to the Eastern Front.)

I'm not sure if the Western Allies would have accepted the idea of Stalin
making a separate peace.

Not a whole lot they could have done about it. Which kind of brings us back
to the bomb, huh?
