[inglorious bastards] How effective would the theatre attack be in actually ending the war?

To ending the war? Anywhere from inconsequential to "maybe ends the war a year early". It was already 1944 when Raine first recruited the Basterds; by the time the Theatre Plot is in-progress, D-Day would have been coming soon, and Landa, a *very* canny political operator, is looking to turncoat because he knows which way the wind is blowing. It'd maybe force Germany into sueing for peace sooner than otherwise from the sheer shock of it, but there'd still likely be some conflict before they settle. 

But the purpose of both the Basterds and Shoshanna's plot (*especially* Shoshanna) wasn't necessarily tangible military benefits, though those were a damned nice side effect; it was revenge. Revenge by the Nazi's victims for the atrocities inflicted upon them, in the most violent way possible. Murdering Hitler and his cronies with bombs and gunfire and flame was the equivalent to beating a Nazi to death with a baseball bat, just on a larger scale.
