Yes thats correct. Hitler made a time machine from a prototype Volkswagen in 1912 and a bit like Michael J Fox he travelled into the future. He then brought a U Boat back to 1912 - sank the Titanic and made it look like it was caused by an iceberg. Unfortunately he altered the fabric of space time thus causing an unfortunate series of events that ended with George W Bush becoming the president of the United States. At least in my universe anyway!

Nope the Titanic hit an ice burg off the coast of Canada in 1912 that how it sunk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic
11:40 PM - "Iceberg, right ahead!"
At 11:40 PM while sailing south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee spotted a large iceberg directly ahead of the ship. Fleet sounded the ship's bell three times and telephoned the bridge. Sixth Officer Moody answered, "Yes, what do you see?", only to hear Fleet exclaiming, "Iceberg, right ahead!", to which Moody responded, "thank you", before informing First Officer Murdoch of the call. Murdoch (who had now already seen the iceberg) ordered an abrupt turn to port (left) and full speed astern, which stopped and then reversed the ship's reciprocating engines driving the wing propellors (the center shaft stopped as the turbine was not reversible. In reverse configuration the residual steam from the reciprocating engines was channeled directly to the condensors). A collision turned out to be inevitable, and the ship's starboard (right) side brushed the iceberg, buckling the hull in several places and popping out rivets below the waterline, creating a total of six leaks in the first five watertight compartments. Murdoch then ordered the ship hard right rudder which swung Titanic's stern away from the iceberg. The watertight doors were shut as water started filling the five compartments, one more than Titanic could stay afloat with. The weight of the compartments filling with water weighed the ship down past the top of the watertight bulkheads, allowing water to flow into the other compartments. Captain Smith, alerted by the jolt of the impact, arrived on the bridge and began to assess Titanic's situation. Following an inspection by the ship's officers and Thomas Andrews, it was apparent that the Titanic would sink, and shortly after midnight on April 15, lifeboats were ordered to be readied and a distress signal sent out.

The Titanic sank in 1912. Hitler didn't come into power until the 1920's. U-Boats never started prowling the Atlantic where the Titanic sank until the late 1930's. No way!!!

Nope, you have your dates mixed up. Titanic sailed in 1912. Titanic sunk after crashing into an iceberg. Hitler's U-boat's did not come into effect until the 1930's. However, Germany were using U-Boats by 1913.
You may be confused with the sinking of the liner RMS Lusitania which was sunk on May 7, 1915, by a German U 20.

That would be a Big No: The titanic sank in... 1912 or 13 I think, and Hitler did not come to power in Germany until the early 1930's.

The Titanic sunk in 1912. Hitler was about 23 and living in Vienna trying to get into art school at the time. He didn't take control of Germany until 1933 I believe and the U-boats were during WWII which was from 1939-1945.

Considering the Titanic sank in 1912,two years before the first world war in which Hitler fought as a corporal. It is a bit far fetched to suggest that he had any hand in the sinking.
We all know that the Titanic was sunk by a ray gun from a flying saucer,

The Titanic sank in 1914, more than 10 years before Hitler took power. So no, it was an Iceberg. Maybe 1912, not sure.

I can understand being hazy on dates. i know not everyone is like me with a thing for dates and numbers,but what kind of weed are you smoking? In 1912 Adolf Hitler was a vagrant,starving artist in Vienna. He'd never even seen the ocean!! The Titanic struck an iceberg 14 April or 15 april 1912. The First World War didn't even start until August 1914 with the first ships sunk by a U-Boat (German for Unterseeboot) being (I believe) 3 British cruisers H.M.S. Aboukir, Hogue, and H.M.S. Cressy. Hitler made it to Corporal in the Imperial German Army. He was strictly cannon fodder,working as a messenger in this war!
Please visit your library! I know I gave you too much but I know little school kids who know more than you do now!
