If you could go back in time and kill hitler, would you?

[Sims2789]

^You could, if you stayed back in time...

 

[Godwynn]

No I wouldn't. Before all this atrocious acts the people loved him, even Churchill said he would want someone like Hitler to rebuild a destroyed nation. If I killed him, I would look like the bad guy who killed a great leader.

That and I assume the USSR would have been more powerful during the 50's and 60's.

 

[FriendlyFire]

Can I just "shoot him in the groin area" ?

I doubt that germany and france would have become communist states. There was still strong opposition to the Red threat. WW2 would likely be a long drawn out cold war affair.

 

[Reno]

No, Simply because that would put Finland in the same state as the Baltic states are now. And it would not even work because killing him would create a paradox, If i kill him i would not think to kill him in the future thus i could have not killed him, etc.

 

[Sarevok]

i wouldnt.

 

[~Corsair#01~]

No, for temporal paradox reasons. That, and I'm a selfish bugger and killing Hitler would mean I (and just about everyone on this forum. And the forum itself) would never have been born.

 

[privatehudson]

Kill Hitler late enough and maybe get Himmler. Less charisma, more evil cunning, less interest in interfering with the militar. I'd rather not run that risk thanks

I would only give some modern tech to Czechoslovakia in 1933 to let them develop them. In 1938 Germany would be defeated and Europe would be preparing itself for second world war with Stalin's Russia

Either that or they'd be battling against Greater Czechoslovakia.

Do you no nothing man! Take one look at RA and you will see the folly of your ways! Kill Hitler indeed...tut tut

 

[WickedSmurf]

No I wouldn't for time paradoxal reasons already mentioned. Kinda.

 

[nonconformist]

No for paradoxial reason,s,a nd because of the rising communist threat, as well as Hitler made fascism and ultra-right wingism unacceptable, when today it might very well be perfectlly acceptable.

There is a really good Twilight Zone episode (the new ones, from the 80's) where something simular happens. Someone goes back in time and saves JFK. Instead of him getting killed, Krushev does, and the person who takes over for him ends up initiating a nuclear strike on the US.

There are simply consequences we can't imagine for doing such an act.

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Whats wrong with right wing!???

PS im not racist, but if left wing's ok, right wing should be too!

 

[Rik Meleet]

Go back in time to what date ??
I think this is extremely important in this specific discussion. If it was 1900 or 1943 makes a big difference in answering this question.

Okay, first of all my father´s mother had to flle from Danzig to Bavaria where she met my Grandfather. So it is very unlikely I would exist. This would lead to a Paradoxon if I did that. But I would do it. If the consequences for today are predictable and acceptable (means not Earth destroyed or something like this). Even if that would mean my death...
Nevertheless time travels are science fiction and the problems are way too big. Although if the possibility would be there I would kill that Austrian ass.

I see many people here are worried about time paradoxes, you know, how can I kill Hitler when it would erase me from history?

But AFAIK nothing would happen. You would only create another alternative reality, but your original reality would remain unaffected by any changes you'd make.

 

[Nobody]

Have you not seen red alert??

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

@Nobody

I stated that earlier, it appears no one else has...

 

[zulu9812]

I wouldn't, because if Hitler hadn't invaded Europe, Stalin would have. That would have been a lot worse.
