This answer is moot, simply this, Hitler would not be in the same state, as someone who has worked in the medical proffession i can say that in almost all cases Parkinson's does not affect the mental capacity of the person, also epilepsy does not nesseraly effect a persons mental state. But getting on the subject you raise, just say Hitler was successful in invading Britain, then the whole situation changes, if we add that what you say that Barbarossa is cancelled, I can assure you that Hitler would have lived well into his eighties or nineties meaning that Germany would not need to look for a new Fuhrer until the 1960's of 1970's. Also once entrenched in Britain the German forces would never be evicted.
