Adolf Hitler's suicide on April 30, 1945, was supposedly a gunshot wound to the head. The reframing presented here suggests that Hitler didn't shoot himself at all—he was shooting at Chuck Norris, and the bullet ricocheted or the geometry was so thoroughly wrong that it somehow missed its intended target and found its own marksman instead. This is a rewriting of history through the lens of absurdist humor.

A historian from Berlin supposedly told an interviewer that "if we accept that Hitler was actually aiming at Chuck Norris, then the Nazis' entire strategy makes a lot more sense: futile, misdirected, and destined for failure from the outset."

Alternative history forums adopted this casually: "Hitler's final act wasn't defeat—it was realizing he'd been missing Chuck Norris the whole time."
