It kind of depresses me to say this but... Hitler was SO EVIL that he basically made the world a better place because of it. Nobody realized just how far hatred could go unor that genocide was possible until he actually went about it.

It pains me to say this but... The world would not be a better place without Hitler, we would be worse for never having seen true evil, it makes us know that we never want that to happen, ever again.

It'd be pretty easy to stop Hitler's rise to power, we should've treated Germany much better in the Treaty of Versailles, and let them join the League of Nations straight off.
Here's an eerily prophetic cartoon from 1920 - they guessed that the Germans that grew up with the Treaty of Versailles hanging over them would fight back in 1940. The writers were only a few months out from the actual date ("The Tiger" was the nickname for the French leader, George Clemenceau).

Ah yes, I've seen that cartoon before, very, very poignant I think.

I've heard Woodrow Wilson being called an Antelope, and Lloyd-George being called a Shrew before, by the way. Though I think Georges Clemenceau's "Tiger" was the only one that stuck.

no. because if I did that my granddad would never off sneaked out of Estonia and stowed away on a boat to Britain, never of met my nan and I'd of never been born to stop Hitler in the past.

Killing Hitler never works.

The who argument is pointless, the motivations that led to Hitler's rise to power were too great to ****, and removing Hitler would have done nothing to stop what had happened, after all the Nationl Socalist Party were in existence before Herr Hitler joined their ranks, even if he didn't come to power somebody else would have and we would have still gone to war and he was not the only man who followed their ideals after all Edward VIII was ruler of the Biggest Empire in the World and he was just as right wing.

Not please think about what I am going to write down next before yu start the demented honking.

We needed both the World War's, and I'm not saying that because I gained employment from conflict (I work in a military). both these wars showed mankind what the brink looked like so we could make sure we never see it again. The First World War was the great European War that had been brewing for centuries and when it finally came about every nation that forght wanted to fight, the one exception was America who had yet to emotionally recover from their Civil War. The First War was needed to ensure that War was trully the last resouce to be used with great reluctance, hence why Hitler was able to conqure half of Europe before Britain and France said enough.

The Second War was needed to show just how devestating total war can be, and why in moden conflicts nowerdays generals try to limit the amount of damage they can inflict on the enemy, and infantry troops are trained to wound the enemy rather than flat out kill them.

Finally their is the bitter irony both war, that men like Napoleon and Hitler, a men who wanted to be artists yet their actions became insperations for thousands of artists, writers, poets, film makers, composers, sculpters, architects, song writers and even some chefs.

Well I personally would jump at the chance of going back to 1907, because I think the absence of modern technology would make me a happier man, and stopping Hitler would be a bonus.
And yet here you are, posting on an internet forum...

Interesting, if I did go back in time and prevented Nazis from rising to power, what would the consequences be? After all, the holocaust and the World War thought the world (read Europe and America) a lesson they would probably never forget, if there wouldn't be a World War in 1939, would it eventually result in something worse in modern day? Could racism even end up to be accepted?

no. We wouldn't know what the result of that happening would be. We might not even be as technologically advanced (don't like using that word advanced but couldn't think of another word) as we are now.

That's the sad thing, I can't seem to draw myself away from the online community. You're just so damn interesting!

He did it was called the King Tiger a most incredible machine to look at (and the way I have seen some veterans look at it as terrifying as the devil), it was bigger and more powerful than any other tank at the time, but like all German military technology at the time it was over engineered and took to long to build and was prone to mechanical failure.

I would drag his sorry arse to the top of a MASSIVE building! I would then set the building on fire (This is at night by the way), so the only light is the inferno around us! There will be a ring of fire around us, so he can't get away! There will be a zip-line at the top of a pole, and you have to hold a button for 20 seconds so it releases (So he can't pussy out)! I will then stip him down and give him muay thay shorts and shoes! I will dress the same! WE WILL THEN FIST FIGHT TO THE DEATH, MAN TO TOSSER! There will be random explosions and the 'Adam the Clown boss' music from dead rising playing on loud speakers on adjacent buildings! IT WILL BE EXTREME!

Stopping Hitler wouldn't stop World War 2. We'd still have to deal with the Empire of Japan. Also, we would likely have had Russia to deal with. Without Germany, Russia/Stalin would not have had someone to fight. WW2 was also how Russia was able to unify Eastern Europe. It would have become invasion if not for Nazi Germany. Russians were barbarians. You should read about what they used to do to people (civilians) they came across when invading Germany.

No, because no matter how awful Hitlers actions were against the jews and the rest of the world, we learned from it. Imagine if I'd kill him when he was 18. Then there would have been no Nazi-party, no WWII, no Auschwitz.Hooray? What about if someone else would have come up with the same ideas Hitler had, only sometime later?

WWII was horrible, but necessary. The world learned from it and made sure that it would never make the same mistake it did when Hitler gained power.
