I mean it's quite different. Hitler wasn't elected (at least not prior to seizing power and effectively banning all opposition). Instead the Nazis got a plurality of just 33% in the Reichstag election, which led to failure to form a government. Then Hitler somehow convinced the center right President to grant him powers which he promptly started abusing and the rest is history.
In other words, 1930s Germany can kind of defend itself in ways the US can't.
Its nothing like Hitler.
Hitler was a vegetarian, who didn't drink and smoke, who was loyal to his partner.
If you think Hitler was loyal to Eva Braun, we've been reading vastly different books.
No, Hitler was just as much a sex pest as any other dictator, and was pretty bad before gaining power. Like targeting 14 year olds, and his 14 year old niece.
But he also had uncontrollable flatulence that could clear a ballroom. Which goes to show that while time travelers couldn't kill him, they certainly could fuck with him.
