Nazis without Hitler

I often wondered how effective the Nazi leadership would have been if
Hitler had died suddenly.

I mean suppose right after the Fall of France, let's say after the
British evacuate Dunkirk, Hitler is in public and clearly has a heart
attack and dies, what happens. I say have a heart attack so everyone
CLEARLY can see he wasn't done in by anyone.

What happens, who would take over and what about the Nazis. Certainly
Churchill opposes them but it's always easier to rally someone around a
person, like it's easier to rally against Osama Bin Laden than unknown
Al Qeda leaders. Or it was easier to condemn Saddam Hussein rather than
his Baath Party.

So how effective would the Nazis been if Hitler had died right after say
Dunkirk. Would Churchill have made peace, who would have taken over?
