I don't know if i could kill a baby, but I would definately won't to prevent Hitler from becoming what he became, so yeah i guess, maybe i would just hire someone to do it.

Knowing how he turned out, I don't think there would have been any need to kill him at birth. Hitler could have been discredited in the eyes of the German people if the truth about his sexuality had been widely known.
If you want chapter and verse on that, read 'The Hidden Hitler' by Lothar Machtan. In a nutshell this tells you that he was an active homosexual before, during and after the 1st World War. This made him become an expert liar and actor which enabled him to con Chamberlain, Stalin and many others.

-No, there is why:
1. Past travel
Changing of the past is so paradoxical that the fact of killing him would alter my family history and my possible birth. Changing the person I might be and my capacity to take such an action. thus possibly rendering me unable to alter the event.
2. Present times.
Although mainly responsible of one of the biggest genocide of all times, we have to consider that the chock brought by the second world war completly altered society and in some ways for the better. Relation with Africa have change as a direct link to that- we are the result of our past and the correction of our "mistakes" would not make us better but just different.
3.Violence.
Violence is ugliness- and Inaction is , like said gandhi, sometimes cowardice. I would have killed , yes , at that time- without any side thoughts and anger if nothing else could have been made to alter the way things were heading to. Now its not even worth thinking of it. There is no use of thinking of murdering the dead- and there is very little use of doing so on the living.

Interesting question but there are deeper issues at play in this question. Firstly, even if you knew the future and you killed Hitler at birth, you would be guilty of murder and just like him. Secondly, what are about the knock-on effects? Ny this, I mean yes, Hitler has done some seriously evil crimes but Nazism has taught people a lesson which is that if they just sit back in their ivory towers, simillar horrors shall reoccur again.
So in answer to your question, I would say No!

Uh, no. That is infanticide and it is wrong. When a person is a child, you don't know what path their life will take. If one person had been more compassionate to Hitler, he could have been an entirely different person.
Why not ask, "If you could go back in time to Hitlers birth... would you take him in, provide for him, and try to teach him compassion, love, and equality?"
Why go for the kill right off the bat?

No. How can you learn from your mistakes if we have no history. Although he was an evil man and millions of people died at his hands we can not ignore the fact that he changed history. All we can do is learn from the mistakes and build on them. Germany is a much more civilised country now and Europe as a whole has been brought together. I think this is because of what Hitler did, not in spite of it.

I doubt whether it would have made a difference. Hitler ended up leading the Nazis but was only one of a number of rag-tag right wing political leaders in Germany after WW1. It might well be that if Hitler hadn't risen to lead the Nazis they may have had a far more effective leader whose party might still be in power.

i would never kill him
instead i would let him live and be as he grew up to in the past
though people call him a killer and all but 4 me he was a hero
though his ways wer rough and brutal but his ideas wer totally satisfying for me.he tried to revive the german empire wich was broken by WW1 .he led his country to economic prosperity
he united the country . and his great ness can b seen by his early victories in WW2 .
i would nevr kill him but would mould him into a better planner ,conqurer so that the world is united and lives in peace and there be a singlre country in the world which is governed by a dictator chosen by the people like dictatorship+democracy even if it takes another WW3

That's a very good question. I'm going to answer that with another question. Where's the AK47? Also, not the question before me but the question before that is a good one which I think deserves 10 points dude. In fact, the question 2 after mine is a good one as well.

I would want to kill him, but that would change the whole events of modern history. Europe especially Germany had to learn from the mistakes of facism.
