During the Battle of Berlin and grabs Der Führer himself while he's staring at his portrait of Frederick the Great?

Is he shot out of hand, or is he bundled up to a waiting Red Air Force Transport
to take him to Moscow and the Lubyanka where Iosif Stalin can visit him
at his leisure in the Lubyanka?

EDIT: FYI: Stalin had a special SMERSH detachment specifically devoted
to following Hitler around and taking careful notes of Hitler's former lairs
and sending the reports back to Uncle Joe...and they were very eager to find
him during the Battle of Berlin..

Probably hauled off into the Lubyanka. Hard part is keeping other Russian forces from butchering him along the way.

I say they keep him alive as some sort of exhibit for heads of state.

No, they'd never let anyone else know they had him. In fact the team that captured him and everyone involved up to his entrance into Lubyanka would likely be killed. Can't have the west wanting to put him on trial or anything. Plus most everyone wants him dead while Stalin would want to toy with him. So why not make both sides happy?

That's true...and like you said IF the kept him alive would be an interesting proposition all on it's own.

So after Stalin toys with him...off to some lonely unmarked hole in Siberia.

Perhaps Stalin had him in a cage in Moscow?

God knows I would.

Stalin would probably execute him, but would still consider Hitler a man after his own heart. :wink:
