Germany was primed for a charismatic leader who claimed to have all the answers. Eliminate Hitler and someone else might pop up.
I'd rather go back a bit farther and kill Karl Marx.
This is a good point. I know for a fact that WWI and WWII were largely engineered to happen by powers that WANTED a war for the purpose of being able to make money. This has happened before WWI and after WWII.
Indeed, Hitler had massive support within the USA and Europe UNTIL he started exterminating the Jews. That's when PUBLIC support for him dried up. So, most of the free world empowered Hitler to become the monster he became.
All that's needed is the opportunity. Killing Hitler might have just meant another person would have taken his place, and the outcome would be difficult to question.

Wow, this is quickly turning into a time traveling genocide; shall we kill the Kim family and the Putins while we're at it?
Same fundamental time-travel conundrum.
