The Holocaust showed us the dangers of government corruption. It's too important of a lesson over which to kill Hitler. Not to mention I would assume killing him in baby form would be heavily frowned upon back in those days.

No, but i would kidnap him and take him to England or someplace, that should be enough to keep him out of trouble.

I really don't care about killing a baby if it will save lives. My "soul" is not as important as ten million innocents.
But there is no garuntee that killing baby hitler would prevent the war, or even the holocaust! Killing him might even result in more death! There's no way of knowing!
Probably safest to kill him, though. He seems to have been the largest factor.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already... Go see "The Boys from Brazil" staring Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier.

If I wanted to change history - and if I had that ability - I'd choose a far better, cleaner and more certain method than killing a baby.

World War II didn't happen purely because of Hitler but because of massive outbreaks of nationalism, dissatisfaction with post-war recessions and frequent humiliating invasions by France. Although you may prevent the holocaust it might not have prevented the war and its hardly a clean way to manipulate events.

I'd prefer a way of garanteeing Germany's peaceful restructuring and creating an economy and political situation with stability, where Hitler and the nationalists would have been imprisoned by a jury of their peers at a young age for being a bunch of racist fruitbaskets.

What the hell are 15% of escapists thinking!? If by some miracle you find yourself temporarily back in time, you should never ever ever touch anything... Even the slightest change can have profound impacts in the future, especially traveling that far back.

Of course I would simply give the baby a lollipop and then go on to use my powers of time travel to bring so much goodness to the world in an infinite amount of ways that the Hitler kill or don't kill dichotomy becomes entirely irrelevant.

If we are talking time travel then no, you can't because it causes a paradox. The only reason you would go back and kill a baby hitler is because of what he did etc. If you killed him he never did it and hence why you would never have a reason to go back and kill him.

OT I wouldn't because, as many have said, for all the death and destruction that WW2 caused, the world learned so many important things and so much was developed - hell, computers were invented during the war, weren't they? The world could easily be worse off now than it is, however hard the decision to allow countless millions to die would be.

I would just get the upgrade and leave.

Kill the dictator? But he is just the product of festering political unrest. Kill the dictator, and another one will appear in his place. Kill him too? Why not kill everyone and invade Poland?

No, haven't you played Red Alert?
I actually suspect something to that effect might happen if you where to travel back in time and kill Hitler.

And as some already pointed out earlier in this thread, I think we might lose an important experience by doing so.

1: By killing hitler then he would not be involved in what was to follow, so then there would be no need to kill him.
If there is no need to kill him then it would not have been done and we are back at 1.

yay eternal loop.

Why not just go back in time and raise him yourself? Surely that's more kind than killing him and involves a lot less bloodshed. Make him be a Doctor, or let him be an artist. Just a thought.
