History PlayingWith / HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct

** Killing Hitler causes a horrific TimeCrash that [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt shatters the universe into innumerable little pieces]].

* '''Justified''': In the absence of Hitler, a more competent dictator took over the regime and caused the Allies even more trouble.

** A character from an [[AlternateUniverse alternate timeline]] goes back in time to kill some significantly despotic German chancellor who never came to power in our own timeline, but this act enables a much worse figure, ''Hitler himself'', to come to power, thus creating our own timeline.

** Bob announces his intent to stop UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust before heading back in time. TimePolice expect him to kill Hitler and prepare to stop him. They watch over Hitler during the time frame Bob visited and he never showed up, much less tried to kill Hitler. It turns out Bob infiltrated the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles instead and prevented the reparations and other terms and conditions that helped lead to the Nazis' rise.

** Alternately, UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini takes over Europe by slowly but surely doing well-planned-out attacks and swaying fascists in Spain and the weakened Germany over to his side. Stalin goes with his original plan to wait things out, which leads to a UsefulNotes/ColdWar between Capitalists and Communists.

** All time machines have a prominently placed placard saying "'''No Murdering Hitler'''" in big red letters.

** Bob kills Hitler and prevents WWII. He returns to the present time and finds that [[ForWantOfANail his interference]] has caused all sorts of illogical consequences, such as Dvorak becoming the most widely-used keyboard layout, the line "BeamMeUpScotty" actually being said in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment his friend Alice growing a handlebar mustache.]]

** A young German artist time-travels to 1900 in an attempt to [[ScrewDestiny assassinate a would-be dictator when he's still a child]], all because of a vague prophecy. He specifically targets artists because he learnt that the would-be dictator was an artist. While it seems that he managed to kill Hitler since he wiped out all artists in Germany, he never realised one thing which [[ShootTheShaggyDog renders all his efforts useless]]: [[TomatoInTheMirror He]] ''[[SelfFulfillingProphecy is]]'' [[TheKillerInMe Adolf Hitler.]]

** Some of the Time Police [[DirtyCop are corrupt neo-Nazis]] and are just using the preservation of history as an excuse not to kill their idol. In fact, [[GambitPileup the Time Police is also using this as a means to prevent them from changing it themselves.]]
** But, knowing that killing Hitler will make things so, so much worse, all the Time Police can do is knuckle down and continue to perform their duty.
** ...Which is why the time traveler could change their mind and instead do exactly that. All they needed to know was just to try killing him before World War II can start, and check the time period first to see whether it did.

** WW2 caused a war between our TimePolice [[AlternateHistoryNaziVictory and the Zeitkorps]]. The latter were eventually defeated but [[PyrrhicVictory that area of the timeline is an utter mess and the travesties cannot be prevented]] without [[HereWeGoAgain reviving the Zeitkorps.]]

** Exaggerated Inversion: Killing UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt early causes the United States to enter the war much sooner and inspires the Manhattan Project to be developed much earlier. When the neo-Nazis return to their present, they find Berlin has been reduced to an irradiated crater.

** Any time someone thinks of killing Hitler, whether they are actually capable of time travel or not, members of the TimePolice [[UnPerson disappear]] and/or [[LaserGuidedAmnesia brainwash]] them just in case.

** A group of time-travelling neo-Nazis kills UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, but the murder just spurs Britain and its allies into attacking sooner.

** All time machines have a prominently placed placard saying "[[AC:No Murdering Hitler]]" in big red letters.

** But knowing that killing Hitler will make things a billion times worse, all the Time Police can do is knuckle down and continue to perform their duty.

* '''Played for Horror''': Every attempt at killing Hitler causes an AlternateUniverse in which he escalates his atrocities in retaliation, to the point that the time traveller eventually [[DrivenToSuicide blows their brains out]] when they discover that the Nazis wiped out all of the inhabitants of France or something similar. [[TemporalMutability Which in turn]] [[ShootTheShaggyDog creates yet another timeline or universe]].

Back to [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct Stalin's Time Travel Exemption Act]] ... Huh? Hitler? Wasn't he a failed artist or something?

** The way TimeTravel works in the setting wouldn't allow anybody to kill Hitler even if they wanted to (such as a variation of MentalTimeTravel that ''only'' allows people to see through other people's eyes à la ''Film/BeingJohnMalkovich'', only being able to travel as far back as the day after UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy's assassination, or being placed on the date that would allow an assassination of Hitler ... on Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, meaning it would take at least a week to get to Europe).

* '''Played for Horror''': Every attempt at killing Hitler causes an AlternateUniverse in which he escalates his atrocities in retaliation, to the point that the time traveller eventually [[DrivenToSuicide blows their brains out]] when they discover that the Nazis wiped out all of the inhabitants of France or something similar.

** Any time someone thinks of killing Hitler, whether they are actually capable of time travel or not, members of the TimePolice disappear and/or brainwash them just in case.

** Killing Hitler makes the war three days longer and causes the moon landing to be delayed by a year.

** A young German artist time-travels to 1900 in an attempt to [[ScrewDestiny assassinate a would-be dictator when he's still a child]], all because of a vague prophecy. He specifically targets artists because he learnt that the would-be dictator was an artist. While it seems that he managed to kill Hitler since he wiped out all artists in Germany and Austria, he never realised one thing which [[ShootTheShaggyDog renders all his efforts useless]]: [[TomatoInTheMirror He]] ''[[SelfFulfillingProphecy is]]'' [[TheKillerInMe Adolf Hitler.]]

** Some of the Time Police [[DirtyCop are corrupt neo-Nazis]] and are just using the preservation of history as an excuse not to kill their idol.

** Whatever other rules of time travel are followed by the tale, it is impossible to do anything to Hitler -- you can do literally anything else, prevent Pompeii from going off and dinosaurs from going extinct, turn Genghis Khan into a geek so colossal that ''Film/TheConqueror'' could have been filmed with Creator/WoodyAllen, strangle Stalin in his crib, help Napoleon win at Waterloo, turn Richard Nixon into a used car salesman and Ronald Reagan a multiple winner of UsefulNotes/TheEGOTs, but time travellers may as well just avoid going anywhere between April 20 of 1889 and April 30 of 1945.
** Any time someone thinks of killing Hitler, whether they are actually capable of time travel or not, they are disappeared or brainwashed by members of the TimePolice just in case.

* '''Exaggerated''': Killing Hitler causes a horrific TimeCrash that [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt shatters the universe into innumerable little pieces]].

** Bob tries asking his fellow TimePolice if any of them would go back to kill Hitler, only for their leader Steve to answer that he ''did'' kill Hitler ''without'' time travel, [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld since he was already alive back in World War II]] [[BeenThereShapedHistory and made it look like the suicide history knows it as]].

** Exaggerated Inversion: Killing FDR causes the United States to not only come into the war much sooner but also causes the Manhattan Project to be developed much earlier. When the neo-Nazis arrive to the future, they find Berlin turned into an irradiated crater.

** Alternately, UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini takes over Europe by slowly but surely doing well-planned-out attacks and swaying fascists in Spain and the weakened Germany over to his side. Stalin decides to go with his original plan to wait things out, which leads to a Cold War between Capitalists and Communists.

** Killing Hitler as a baby means the time traveler goes down as a baby killer because their lack of historical knowledge means they didn't know that they could have just killed him during, for example, UsefulNotes/WorldWarI and have a reasonable doubt.

* '''Straight''': Killing Hitler causes UsefulNotes/WorldWarII to be longer and bloodier.

** A group of time-travelling neo-Nazis kills one or more of the anti-Axis countries' leaders early -- UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt, etc. -- but the murder(s) just spur(s) the Allies into attacking sooner.

** However, that allows UsefulNotes/JosefStalin[='=]s power to run unchecked, [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert and he invades the now-peaceful Europe]] [[DirtyCommunists with no less brutality than Hitler would]].

Stalin decides to go with his original plan to wait things out which leads to a Cold War between Capitalists and Communists.
** Bob's attack on Hitler only left him NotQuiteDead.

** Killing Hitler prevents the National Socialist German Workers' Party from taking power in that country. However, UsefulNotes/WorldWarII still occurs with a more competent and dangerous revival of the German Empire which causes more military casualties on both sides and a prolonged war. On the bright side, many atrocities never occur due to [[PragmaticVillainy being a poor use of resources]].

* '''Exploited''': People use the "killing Hitler" gimmick as a way to lure [[TheDitz dumb people]] onto a time machine and dump them somewhere where they would make very little ripples.

** To make sure nobody breaks the course of modern history, a TimePolice is focused on protecting Hitler against time travellers. Since this work makes the Time Police complicit in Nazi Germany's multifarious crimes (and its agents are well aware of that), the agents assigned to Hitler's protection live in a constant "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" state of mind and are very prone to suffer from [[TheAlcoholic alcoholism]] and/or nervous breakdowns.

** Some of the Time Police [[DirtyCop are corrupt Neo-Nazis]] and are just using the preservation of history as an excuse not to kill their idol.

** After killing Hitler, Bob returns to his time and sees that World War II still happened, so he goes back in time to kill the new Nazi leader ... which fails to change anything, [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer so he does it again, and again, and again]], until at last he tires of it and [[ResetButton stops himself from killing Hitler in the first place]].
** The hero sets things up so that [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken embarrassing footage of Hitler in the bathroom plays during one of his rallies, putting an end to World War II without having to kill him early]].

** Bob tries asking his fellow TimePolice if any of them would go back to kill Hitler, only for their leader Steve to answer that he ''already'' killed Hitler ''without'' time travel, since he was already alive back in World War II and made it look like the suicide history knows it as.

** Killing Hitler has no major effect -- somebody else takes his place and does things the same way to the same end.

** A group of time-travelling neo-Nazis kills UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill and/or UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt, but the murder(s) just spur(s) the Allies into attacking sooner.

** Killing Hitler at any time during or before WWII brings the war to a halt and makes the future a better place.

** Bob goes back in time and kill Hitler... [[YouAlreadyChangedThePast in such a way that it's mistaken for a suicide.]]

** Bob kills Hitler and prevents WWII. He returns to the present time and finds that [[ForWantOfANail his interference]] has caused all sorts of illogical consequences, such as Dvorak becoming the most widely-used keyboard layout, the line "beam me up, Scotty" [[BeamMeUpScotty actually being said]] in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment his friend Alice growing a handlebar mustache.]]

* '''Implied''': AliceAndBob went back in time to UsefulNotes/NaziGermany circa 1935 with deadly weapons. They come back joyful at first, then they look around and see things are very different… or worse yet, that they have not changed ''[[YouCantFightFate at all]]''.
