An interesting point I came across in A failure of a mission by Sir Nevile Henderson - ambassador to Berlin in 1937-1939 was that as the Nazi regime was an effect of conditions imposed on Germany in the Versailles treaty (which appears to be more or less generally accepted), so would the Nazi era end if Germany in a peaceful way got the borders that should have been set in Versailles, ie the language borders. This should strengthen the none-militaristic wing of the Nazi party, remove the prime motivation for war and eventually lead Germany back to a normal condition (that did not have to be democratic).

That fact that the theory failed does not show it was a bad one to try, other then from an omniscient point-of-view.
