Germany still would've became fascist because of their overwhelming debt to the victors of WWI. They most certainly still would have started World War II in some way. They almost certainly would've also started genociding the disabled, and probably move on the non-Aryans eventually, or at the very least thrown them all in prisons or some internment zone

The only other guy I can think of offhand would be Lenin
