    I’ve long ascribed to the theory that, if time travel is ever invented, no one kills Hitler because WWII was inevitable and Hitler actually bungled a lot of key decisions. I’m praying Trump is the same. Maybe this is the most painless purging of nationalist sentiment across the timelines.

      Changing timeline with useful morons. Not a bad idea.

      So, 3rd world war will start and Russia will launch nukes. Nato will fuck up their response, because of the orange freek. Most Russian nukes either fail to fly, fail to detonate or the yeald is garbage, because corruption and stolen maintenance funds. Earth will only be partially ruined. Russia will declare victory and soon collapse due to internal conflicts, arguments about the new world order and related assassinations. Something better will eventually rise from the mess.

      The only way to really prevent World War II is to prevent World War I and to do that we would need to prevent the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and our own timeline made it pretty clear that he was destined to die that day.

    Two so far.

    Remember, they have discovered 42 plots against Hitler.

    And they didn’t have nearly as sophisticated means of communication that time.

      Two so far that we know about. The Secret Service doesn’t report on attempts that don’t make the news because it inspires copycats.

      It’s less about the means of communication now as it is an absolute state of surveillance to act upon before things are even in motion.

        The joke is that a person named Hans Duchtelstein was the previous timelines “Hitler” and after being successful Hitler just stepped in because fate is inevitable.

        Reverse: we time travel and kill Hitler, come to the present and Hans Duchtelstein takes Hitlers place but does the exact same thing.

      When you went back in time to prevent Hitler’s entry into art school so that you wouldn’t have to analyse his overrated aquarrells in art class anymore.
