Before using a time machine to kill Hitler you should brush up on your German, all of the potential successors were a lot more stable, the war might have ended very differently if Göring or Goebbels came to power. As the saying goes, Hitler was the best general the Allies had. If the US had entered the war a week later or if Germany did not declare war on the Soviet Union, the outcome would have likely have been in Germany’s favor.

Very unlikely. Germany had no chance of invading Britain as its navy was a joke. Without invading the Soviet Union, it would have run out of oil even faster than it historically did, crippling its ability to defend against bombing attacks.
Without an Eastern Front, more troops may have been available to defend against a naval invasion. But eventually, Stalin would have likely opened the front himself. Even if not, a lot of troops would have been necessary to guard against a possible Soviet invasion anyway.
