- bsaul 13y agoThanks for that link, i haven't laughed this hard in ages
- fhars 13y agoWell, then starting to read at http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HitlersTimeTravel... may be dangerous to your health.
- danielweber 13y agoIt's beautiful for how it captures the essence of all message board fights.
- arethuza 13y agoWhy just Hitler? Stalin and Mao were arguably equally as bad: http://necrometrics.com/tyrants.htm http://necrometrics.com/tyrants.htm And there are monsters like Leopold II of Belgium (possible victims in the range 2-15 million) who hardly anyone remembers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium#Exploitation_and_atrocities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium#Exploitat... Actually, as hardly anyone remembers Leopold II maybe he is the ideal target.... :-| [NB I eventually remembered that I'm against the death penalty - so what I am actually in favor of is apprehending the relevant individuals and bringing them back to face trial by the appropriate authorities. Although I admit there would be a distinct temptation to do a Cheradenine Zakalwe with Vasili Blokhin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Blokhin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Blokhin Where was the Grey Area when we needed it!]
- mcv 13y agoKilling Stalin without killing Hitler might not be the best idea, considering the vital role Russia played in the defeat of the nazis. And maybe Leopold II gets overlooked by time travelers exactly because they also don't remember him. (Good of you to mention Leopold II, though. Also note Henry Morton Stanley's role in that despicable piece of genocide.)
- vixen99 13y agoThere is a view that General Winter managed very well by himself.
- njharman 13y agoActually, the H man and those guys don't make the cut. The ones deserving of time-travel assassination have already been dealt with. Hence we don't know of them.
- bbwharris 13y agoExactly. If we are going to hypothesize about time travelers then we have to accept that any significant reason to time travel has already happened. Futhermore it has happened more times than we are aware of to create our specific timeline. Maybe Hitler was a time traveler himself.

- kamaal 13y agoI am wondering, that things like killing someone historically significant won't be done unless there is extinction level threat from that individual. Other wise the people in the future would decide to just let it play.
- swombat 13y ago7000 personally executed over 28 consecutive nights, through a shot in the base of the skull while wearing a leather apron, gloves and hood, 300 a night for 10 hours each night, one every 3 minutes? That's some character... It takes a certain kind of monster to order the execution of 7000 officer prisoners of war. It takes another kind to carry it out personally with a collection of pistols brought in especially for the job.

- jagermo 13y agothank you. I was thinking about this fantastic story the other day and I was wondering if I'll ever find it again. Bookmarked.
