We’ve all argued over the standard old time travel paradoxes, but here’s a rule we can all abide by: If you’re going to kill Hitler, do it early. Besides, who do you think’s easier to bump off, a bunkered dictator or a failing art student? [xkcd]

If Westwood Studios taught me anything it was Killing Hitler was a bad idea!
I have so many likes for this comment, first game I ever played!
Now that made me laugh out loud
Of course the whole problem with the “kill Hitler” theory is that there is no evidence that it would have prevented the rise of the Nazi’s, World War 2 or the holocaust. Also given that we know that the Nazi’s actually fail under Hitler, isn’t it better to leave him in place then risk them succeeding under someone else.
But you forget that all history is perfectly isolated from everything before it so killing Hitler would solve all the world’s problems!
Ooh, new theory: Hitler WAS a time traveler, but he was on our side. He came from a dystopian future where the Nazis won the war under a more competent leader. The last act of the dying allied resistance was to invent a time machine and send one of their most charismatic young men back in time to 1920s Germany. There he would play the part of a Nazi politician, assume control of the country and declare war on the world in the name of ethnic cleansing. He deliberately lost the war, and made sure that no one ever took Nazism seriously again.
