I said no because in the realm of fantasy where this would be possible it's too far a stretch to think that NOT murdering 6 million people wouldn't bring some change.
I'd probably take out the founder of Eugenics first. Without this, the evilness of Hitler and the intent of his declaration of war on Europe completely changes.
I couldn't kill a baby. :/
Can I kill him as an adult instead? That I could do. I know this is a hypothetical question, but there's no way this wouldn't change history. All these additional people would be alive and have offspring...
You don't know for sure that it would have changed everything. Fascism was sweeping across Europe. Anti-semitism has a long history before the nazis. The Weimar Republic was susceptible to being overthrown. Germans were still pissed about WWI.
I feel like people would want this to be an easy solution but it was much more multi-faceted then killing hitler. He was the face of the regime not the whole regime itself.
I think you are putting too much into this. While I agree that it's impossible to predict the effect, I think this question is as simple as could you kill someone to prevent mass murder
Idk if you watched lost, but they dealt with this same problem when the traveled in time. Save a kid that would grow up to be a murderer or let him die. Obviously the show wouldn't have made sense if they killed him but it was intriguing.
