This is assuming he’d have been found guilty for leading the Nazi government like others were.
If Hitler had been captured he’d almost certainly have been captured by the Soviets and the chances he’d make it to Nuremberg are quite slim. He may have been publicly executed or just disappeared. Considering how many soviet lives were lost in WW2 it’d be unsurprising if the officer in charge of his capture didn’t just take matters into their own hands over a personal grudge.

That is assuming the Soviets would have handed him over. I bet Stalin would have him flown to Moscow for the biggest show trial ever. Ignoring most of his other henious crimes to focus on what he did to the Slavic people of the Soviet Union.
Followed by a bullet the head unless Stalin would have asked for some special public execution but I doubt it.
