      It wouldn’t have mattered if you kill Hitler. Someone else would have risen up and taken power, eventually kicking off WW2. The conditions in early 1930s Germany were too ripe not to have a demagogue take total power there. If you wanted to prevent those events from happening, you prevent the great depression, not kill some leader of a nation

        True, someone else would have taken his place, but not immediately. If you can’t prevent the depression, you have to struggle on the ground.
