How did this happen? what happened to Hitler?

I had this happen also, there was an event that triggered and Hitler got assassinated(not sure what triggered the event). I would guess based off of the failed "Operation Valkyrie".

It was a failed attempt on July 20th, 1944, to kill Hitler with a bomb at his HQ in East Prussia, as well as use an emergency plan in place (Op. Valkyrie), to conduct a coup to over throw the Nazi Government and the SS, then make a peace deal with the Western Allies.
It failed, but came very close to succeeding, as Hitler was close to getting killed in the blast. It remains a matter of debate what would have happened if Hitler had been killed, but the SS putting down the coup and Himmler becoming leader was certainly a possibility.

If the Czechs refuse the pact and Germany invades, I think there's a slight chance of the Wehrmact couping Hitler and there's a choice that pops up. The choice is whether (spelling error xd) to choose Goering or Himmler.

That is also a possiblity, the leadup to the Ancshluss and especially the Munich Crisis led to some senior German officers to desire a coup overthrow the regime, led by future Valkyrie conspirator Ludwig Beck
