Freedomfighter69, as you are a new member, please read IATT Bulletin 1147 regarding the killing of Hitler before your next excursion. Failure to do so may result in your expulsion per Bylaw 223. http://www.abyssandapex.com/200710-wikihistory.html

no Hitler means no Third Reich, no World War II, no rocketry programs, no electronics, no computers, no time travel. Get the picture?
Very interesting but it's a flawed story, according to the very same idea you can't kill Hitler and go back 'fixing the error'.
Although it's all theoretical as far as my knowledge goes, this is based on a certain assumption. The idea that you can actually change the past when it already happened, but I think that's not possible.
After all, it already happened the way it did, whether we were part of it as time travelers going back in time taking a look or not does not change that. Lets assume someone does indeed go back and tries to assassinate Hitler, that person will fail for a multitude of reasons. One of them being that indeed it's likely that the whole chain of events after the rise of Hitler would not have happened and there would not be a time machine in the future. Then ... how could you have traveled from the future back in time when there was no time machine? You obviously can't travel without a time machine. So either you can't really change history, or time travel is not possible because one wrong step could trigger a different chain of events erasing important things from the future including the time travelers, ..... which either way means you can't change history,
Cheers

Of course it is , you are right. I merely just realized how much sense it actually makes. ;-) Still... it's basically based on a few assumptions too.
It's an incredibly interesting subject.
