I was thinking about that the other day, the moral dilemma of whether you’d kill baby Hitler. But then I realized suddenly that you don’t have to kill baby Hitler at all. You can just kidnap him away to some other family or any number of other non-baby-killing interventions.
Or the fact that we’d lose the example of the holocaust to prevent future holocausts… but then the moral dilemma of choosing to let so many people die… but then also the fact that holocaust ignorance seems to be growing anyway despite having the example and overwhelming (horrific) evidence of the holocaust…
Ironically, Israelis use the previous Holocaust to excuse the one they are creating. And the US is providing the weapons to increase the death count. And that isn’t the only holocaust the US is supporting.
Or like, Hitler or something…

You could sabotage his gas mask so he dies in WW1, not like he did anything important before then. Your proposition is nicer, though

You go back to stop it, only to be stopped by an even later time traveler trying to stop you from making it worse.
Then there’s a time traveler trying to stop that guy from stopping you from stopping Hitler. Repeat that a few more times.
Turns out in the end Hitler was the way he was because of all the time travelers constantly fighting each other nearby.
