I remember a short book called "The Spider Web" or something writed by a german dude in ~1925 predicting the nazi party.

    "Dude I just came back from 1919!!"

    "Holy shit it worked! Did you get him?? Did you kill Goering?"

    "What? No I killed Hitler, just like we talked about"

    "I don't know who the fuck that is. You didn't fucking kill Goering?? Who the fuck is Hitler, Hitler what? So you didn't get Goering, he still killed 11 million Jews and I'm all out of plutonium. For fucks sake."

    "Wait what"

      Most people don't know that Hitler didn't even found the Nazis he was just being used as a public speaker by the real leader Anton Drexler. But Drexler got sick and Hitler realized he could easily soft coup Drexler and become both the face and leader of the Nazi Party. Drexler ate shit a little while later and the rest is history. You'd have to kill a lot of ghouls to keep Nazism from developing, thanks a fucking lot SDP for unleashing the freikorps.

        On the other hand the communists were pretty consistently on their heels in terms of size and popularity at the time. So affecting their popularity and reach might have gone a long way

          That's actually a good point. Maybe Hitler didn't matter much for the early rise of Nazism or for the pretty impossible military goals of the Nazis, but was actually vital for their marketing efforts, and caused the whole fascist takeover that way.
