And very few Adolfs. Especially in Germany.

We already know of several conservation laws and there may be more to be discovered (Dark Matter & Energy etc.), there just might just be a ‘time’ conservation law too (since we are speculating here) The post states that people would like to go back in time to kill Hitler thereby preventing WW11. But that isn’t even logical since WW11 might then begin by other agencies. Whatever atrocities were commanded by Hitler the one thing he did do was to unite the German people AND unite the world against him. It might those two principles that are important rather the than the person Hitler. Let’s not forget the progress in rocket science too which may have taken much longer to achieve if there hadn’t been a world war. The main point is that there is always a price to pay (just like on the quantum level- a system ‘borrows the energy but it has to be paid back.) Another way is that the macro level is dominated mostly by deterministic classical physics so perhaps the killing Hitler might be unnecessary-just preventing him from becoming a politician might be enough. Another point to remember is that Hitler made several important mistakes which another leader might not have done thereby winning important battles (Battle of Britain for one) and the WW11 result might have been very different.
So in all speculation, travel back in time to look but don’t touch eh?

In that spirit, how do we not know that a competent Nazi wasn’t killed off by a time traveller so that a failed painter with limited military experience and unlimited ego could replace him instead? We don’t.

Since Hitler’s ideas on Living Space and the Final Solution were hardly original and the citizens of Germany were waiting for someone to hear exactly what Hitler was selling, all killing Hitler would have done is ensure that someone competent was running the Nazi regime- which is why Churchill and Eisenhower were dead set against it.

Not to forget that all these attempts to murder Hitler by time travelers makes him an expert time-traveler assassin.

Anytime someone asks me where I’d time travel to, I say to see dinosaurs. Forget about Hitler. My first trip would be dinosaurs.

Hitler was eliminated from the lineage of surnames, though. Know any Hitlers? It’s kinda like his name got wiped out.
