In real life, Hitler's generals did not have that kind of balls. They wanted Hitler dead but also to survive. There were a couple of attempts on his life but nothing so bold as you envision. What you describe would have worked, but the German generals were not bold. When it became clear that the end was near, some of Hitler's closest associates did countermand his commands to prevent the annihilation of all they held dear, which took guts, but not the kind of guts you are talking about.
