Subject: It is 1944, You are in a room with a man and a gun.

Why bother if its 1944? The damage has been done and the war is only a year away from its conclusion. And besides, I would never execute anyone like that, no matter who they are or what they have done.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

no.
i take the bag off his head and if it's him i trial him in court.

This. Why can't we take the bag off OP?


Because it might be Bane.

And because that spoils the point of the question.
Perhaps he was wondering why shoot a man before removing his bag over his head.

1944 is a bit too late for reconciliation.

Even with their leader's head severed, the German war machine would march on.

Though it's ideology would depend on who assumes command.

Derp

I would take the bag off his head. Then I would give him a trial.

  • 12.23.2012 9:17 AM PDT

In the future history books I would be a hero. Can I peak? Or do i just have to shoot?

  • 12.23.2012 9:18 AM PDT

Derp

How would it be 50/50 OP? did you grab 2 people one of them hitler, throw bags on their heads, put them on a centrifuge and throw one in the room or something? because that's dumd.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I'd shoot the hinges off of the bag.

I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

regardless of the actions of The National Socialist German Workers' Party, their research and advancements in technology have helped create today's world. One example of this is the use of V2 technology employed in the Apollo space flight program.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Would killing Hitler really end the war?

You're Grand kids will know you as the man who killed Hitler. They will make movies about you. That's worth something.

Shoot him in the ballsack for kicks, then walk away. I don't care who it is.

  • 12.23.2012 9:28 AM PDT

BTW Elites rule!

And I am probably just trolling you right now....especially if it is a controversial thread

That would be one -blam!- up butterfly effect.

I don't think it's worth enough.

If Hitler was killed another National Socialist would just have taken his place, like how Karl Donitz succeeded Hitler when he commited suicide. It may have been better for the Germans if he died actually, because although he was rather successful with the German economy and industry, he is utterly horrible at being a military leader and perhaps is single-handedly responsible for their loss of the war.

Living the charmed life I see

  • 12.23.2012 9:39 AM PDT

No. If I were to kill him there is a chance I would never be born. The butterfly effect people, except on a much greater scale.

  • 12.23.2012 10:15 AM PDT

No. Never tamper with the timeline. Never.

  • 12.23.2012 10:16 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Was getting caught part of his plan?

Shoot him in the leg first. If he screams, "Dang Jews!" then it's Hitler. Put another in his dome. If he screams out anything else, might as well shoot him in the head now else you're going to jail when he rats on you.

  • 12.23.2012 10:20 AM PDT

Alright, OP isn't looking at the big picture here.

You kill the man, and it happens to be Hitler. What does this change? A -blam!- ton. For starters, the war probably wouldn't end. Like stated before, some other political leader would take Adolf's place, and the outcome of the war could be exponentially different. Germany could have won, important leaders could have fallen. Hell, it could mean the collapse of modern civilization.

OP mentioned the amount of lives saved, but what impact would said lives have on the planet? One of those people might grow up to be the President, or another strong leader trying to take over the world. Every single person plays a role in this, no matter how unimportant they may seem.

Lastly, we need to think about what happened in that last year technology wise. The atomic bomb was developed which ultimately ended the war. What if the war ended before it was produced? What then? Well, the Cold War might not happen. Russia and the U.S. would have nothing to threaten each other with, which might have led to an actual war.

OP, think about the little things before you make assumptions about what would happen.

*end rant and continues lurking*

Yup.

If this was 1938, I might consider it, but probably wouldn't. The damage was already done by 1944, the seeds for multiculturalism, liberalism and other disgusting things were already set in motion at that time, killing Hitler in 1944 would not have stopped any of that.
