At least he has his art

to be fair, the easiest way to stop hitler from becoming hitler is to stop world war 1. Hitler became who he was from a mixture of his upbringing, spoiled by his mother and abused and beaten out of hatred and disappointment by his father, and world war 1. To elaborate on that last bit, Hitler was a big patriot during that time, he went and fought for his country and was proud of his service, he gets back from the war to see a country that doesn't support its military and subsequently got pulled into the national socialist movement, a movement that heavily propogandized the problems in the war being blamed on jews, claiming they acted to hinder the war effort. That mixed with the extreme state being being lost from coming home to a homeland that didnt appreciate him all let to Hitler becoming the man he ended up being, a person who had an enemy and a country to fix that he felt only he could fix correctly.

I'm not saying you're entirely wrong but there were pogroms before WWI, in between WWI and WWII, and after WWII. People are just shit really, and even if there wasn't Hitler or Franz Ferdinand or anything things would eventually have headed the way they did. These are people that long before they went after the jews they started killing kids with down syndrome because they considered them to be a burden on the system, and even euthanized people in wheelchairs because they wanted to discourage them from potentially breeding more crippled children. And like I said, it's not like the Germans were the first people to go after my ancestors, but my god were they enthusiastic about it.
