#Hitler

When polled on whether they would kill Hitler as a baby, only 42% of NYT readers said yes.

When polled on whether the atomic bombings of Japan were justified, 56% of Americans said yes.

Either people are really uncomfortable with messing up the timeline, or killing 200,000 people to end the war early is considered preferable to killing one person to stop the war entirely.

Hitler told Chamberlain the soldier had pointed a gun at him but spared him. "That man came so near to killing me that I thought I should never see Germany again," Hitler is alleged to have said. "Providence saved me from such devilish accurate fire as those English boys were aiming at us

Would it have been better for Hitler to have been taken out in war than to have learned what we have from his rise to power?

I know the history, but I want perspectives.
