I've read that had the Allies diverted flights of bombers so as to destroy the rail lines:

Hitler would have returned to his Plan A: gassing people in the backs of trucks with hoses running to the tailpipe. And/or: machine gunning them.

Then, the entire war might have been prolonged because not enough bombers had been used to destroy purely military targets.

Also,

the Pope's church nurtured anti-Semitism for many a century.

Also,

Hitler was blackmailing the church leadership, as he had info on their sexual activity with children.
