Would Hitler still act as he did historically?

Earlier naval expansion and possible Dutch battlecruiser construction make Hitler's historical course uncertain.

Question

Would Hitler still act as he did historically under these circumstances?

Short answer

That cannot be assumed. The larger fleets and possible Dutch battlecruiser construction would change the circumstances substantially.

Notes

The altered fleet balance prevents a firm prediction about Hitler following his historical course. Additional responses by other countries could change it further. Dutch battlecruisers are offered as one possible development that would affect operations if a war occurred.
