To be honest, going back and just taking Hitler or any similarly historically important person out of the equation is likely enough to do that, for most people, given the impact he had on the world, or at the least removes the reason for you to go back in time, so presumably if you're seriously contemplating doing this, whatever time travel mechanism you have going on probably has to be one where you are shielded from the consequences of whatever changes you make anyway.

Your authoritative replies about something that is a complete fiction is a bit worrying.

you have going on probably has to be one where you are shielded from the consequences of whatever changes you make anyway.

That's the fun about making shit up, you chose the rules that apply.
