Hitler's disastrous slide (7)

I believe the answer is:

slither

'slide' is the definition.
('slither' can be a synonym of 'slide')

'hitler's disastrous' is the wordplay.
'disastrous' is an anagram indicator.
'hitlers' with letters rearranged gives 'SLITHER'.

(Other definitions for slither that I've seen before include "Snake along" , "Slide on slippery surface" , "Slide, slip" , "Undulate" , "Move smoothly over a surface with a twisting motion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
