He set a paradigm for future rulers to use to manipulate the public. For example, he bombed his own Parliament to ignite a war against "terrorists" (sound familiar?). Hitler then used homeland security to take away civil liberties of its citizens in the pursuit of stopping "terrorists." Again, sound familiar? If some of these interest you, check this out: http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Articles3/Jayne_Hitler-Bush.htm . However, on the other end of the spectrum, who knows if someone later could have come to power and accomplished the same thing with more success? We do not know for sure, but judging from how HItler has effected not only the lives of people during his time, he is also effecting me. I would have definitely killed him.

I can think of several other things I'd be more likely to do on my time journey than worry about who I can assassinate. But consider that you could take down Christopher Columbus (or send him off course) and instantly get rid of all those American psychos and the 9/11 hijackings at the same time. And a wee bit of meddling with czar Nicholas fate or altering the terms of the Versailles agreement would probably make WWII a non-event. Ah heck, go snatch the forbidden fruit from Adam before he takes a bite. :-) So you’ve somehow received the gift of time travel, and the first thing you think of doing with it is committing a felony, and need to justify it?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran minister in Nazi Germany, struggled with the same issue. It is suspected he joined a group that plotted to assassinate Adolph Hitler. The plot failed. The Nazi's evidence against Bohhoeffer was shaky, but they arrested him anyway. They sentenced him to death and asphixiated him with piano strings only a few days before the Allies arrived to liberate Germany. It is a sad story. But Bonhoeffer wrote extensively about his life and his decision... you can probably find his books at Amazon or at your library. What an interesting post!

If Hitler would not kill so many people, maybe more nacis would be here now. Or just some of his follower would take his role... I think, that every evil thing in the history is good for at least one thing: to learn from it, and not make the same mistake again.

I have the same issues you mentioned with one different thought. I always wondered if we have a parallel Universe and perhaps I could disrupt one and not the other. I'm not even sure how it would work...sorta of like a Universe that coincides with ours except everything is opposite on the other side. Therefore if I went to the other side...my life would be the opposite it is here. And by the way I do think it exists...in the time warp...now am I ever sounding spooky. I don't think too much about this as it often makes me crazy... I won't think about life after death much as well, because I end of being afraid one of them would contact me and you never know which side they are from the dark or the light side...so there you are....

Certainly Hitler would be gone, but it's possible some other, stronger, evil power would have triumphed and the world as we now know it wouldn't exist. Many of our current "good" people may not have been born, lessons learnt in the last 60-70 years would not have been learnt, you or I might not have been born. On the other hand we may have a universal utopia with everyone everywhere equal but would that be a good thing? Sooner or later someone would want just that little bit extra, more than the bloke next door, before you know it we'd be right back at square one.
