From YKTTW Working Title: Hitler Was Cthulhu
Ryusui: If anyone's reading this, yeah, I went ahead and launched it. I realize, though, that we have some good examples that technically fit under two separate tropes: this one as described (that Hitler was either competent enough or so intrinsically evil that bringing him back - or revealing he never died - would be tantamount to The End of the World as We Know It), and the more general "They Cloned Hitler" version. Or maybe I just need to revise the trope description to imply both.
