I never understood why would you want to go back in time to kill Hitler. How do we know that somebody worse isn’t going to show up in history books, just some time later? And probably as nukes developed around that time, probably with atomic bombs?
That is if you believe in the “great man” telling of history.
It could be trends and sociological phenomenons that elevate those men or a confluence of both.
It’s not like anti-Semitism wasn’t endemic before Hitler decided he would run on that.
Isn’t that basically what Matriks404 said? That WWII didn’t happen because of Hitler and that killing off Hitler wouldn’t have prevented it. It would have happened anyway, the question is in what manner, at what point in time exactly, and if it wasn’t led by Hitler it would have been someone else, who might have been even more catastrophic.

Yeah I was adding on that
Ah ok sorry I thought you meant he was wrong. Then let’s say all of us agree on the matter
There’s a documentary about that time it was tried. It’s called “Red Alert”.
