Yeah. I think what probably would have happened, had Hitler been assassinated, is simply that he'd become a martyr figure. The people who seem to have been the most instrumental in organizing the Holocaust would still be there, using his death to fan the fire of public support.
A good example of this was Martin Luther King as well. Before his death he had largely been marginalized for coming out against the Vietnam War, but after his death he became a powerful symbol.
Boondocks had an excellent episode (you can watch it on Netflix) on a parallel history of MLK if he had survived his assassination.
