[ WP ] You 're the time traveler who killed Hitler . As punishment for damaging the timeline , you 're sentenced to REPLACE Hitler .

`` …Errrr. I, um. I do n't know if I *can. *'' 
 
 
 `` Sorry, but you've got no choice. You royally fucked up the timeline, so you got ta fix it. Hitler needs to rise to power. World War 2 needs to happen. The fact of the matter is, without everyone killed during Hitler's reign and World War 2, the population soars out of control even sooner than it did in the original timeline, and the technology capable of offsetting the effects of global warming and overpopulation simply does n't develop fast enough. Millions may have died during World War 2, but that's nothing compared to the near extinction of humanity. Look at it this way; right now, mathematically you're officially 10 billion times worse than Hitler, so taking over his position will actually be a huge step up for you.'' 
 
 
 `` But… *How* is this going to work, exactly?'' 
 
 
 `` …Well, you're not going to like it, but we'll have to begin with reconstructive surgery. During your recovery, you'll need to master speaking German. Luckily, you wo n't need to be perfectly fluent, just enough to get by in day to day conversation without arousing suspicion. As long as you focus on mastering the speeches and pronunciations regarding all major war time decisions, the timeline should happen relatively as planned. Thankfully, the original Hitler's done most of the legwork for you, so it wo n't be terribly difficult to turn you into a convincing replacement.'' 
 
 
 `` Reconstructive surgery…'' I gulped. 
 
 
 `` Yes. Reconstructive surgery.'' 
 
 
 `` Even… Uh…'' 
 
 
 `` …Yes.'' 
 
 
 I instinctively looked down and folded my arms and legs together, cringing. 
 
 
 `` …Well, if it makes you feel better, Hitler did a lot of drugs.'' 
 
 
... It did n't make me feel better.
