If Hitler was captured, what would have been his punishment in the Nuremberg Trials?
This is assuming he’d have been found guilty for leading the Nazi government like others were.
Edit: of course it would likely be death, but was wondering what specific means of death would have been carried out for him.

If Hitler had been captured he'd almost certainly have been captured by the Soviets and the chances he'd make it to Nuremberg are quite slim. He may have been publicly executed or just disappeared. Considering how many soviet lives were lost in WW2 it'd be unsurprising if the officer in charge of his capture didn't just take matters into their own hands over a personal grudge.
