Here's the deal. Hitler fucked up the end of his campaign with his two front attack. He was trying to do too much at once, and considering Stalin was killing off thousands of his own troops... he wasn't going to let Hitler give him much shit.
Nobody individually could have stopped him. But with the Allies bearing down on him, Russia and it's MASSIVE numbers and ruthless troops that either fought or died by their own commanding officers, he was fucked.
Hitler's soldiers were attempting to assassinate him were probably a direct result of his own paranoia. He was routinely killing his top advisers and anyone really close to him because he thought they were trying to defect or were spies, or were trying to kill him, or or or.
