[ WP ] Instead of killing him , a timetraveller tells Hitler how future generations will remember him .

'Adolf... Hey Adolf...' 
 
 I'm terrified, I am just inches away from this monster, although I do n't think monster is a strong enough word for this creature in front of me but I ca n't see that now, all I see is a young guy, underweight, scrawny and cold. 
 I am alone with him but I ’ m powerless to do anything to him, that ’ s not how this works, at least not yet, for now physical interaction is n't perfect. I sit on the chair I was sitting on in the present and the less I move or touch the safer I am and I'd rather not tear a hole in space and time. I still want to finish Half Life 3 when I get back. 
 
'Adolf....' 
 
 He moves and rolls over in his bed. He blinks at me confused, oh oh, I do n't want to startle him too much, the last thing I want for him is to charge at me. 
 
'Am I dreaming?' 
 
'Ok Adolf, just wait 2 minutes I have something important to tell you but first I need you to know I ’ m serious and that there is things going on here that you wo n't understand.' 
 
 I hope his youth helps me on this, maybe he is more open minded now. 
 
'Your mother, she is n't well right now is she?' 
 
'No, is she ok, did she die?' 
 
'You have skills in painting but it ’ s not appreciated is it?' 
 
'No but that ’ s not important', he sits up in bed. 
 
 Shit I do n't want him freaking right now. 
 
'Yes Adolf, yes your mother is fine' ( I'll tell him the truth later, ease him in ) 
 
'Oh thank God, what is going on why are you here and saying this?' 
 
'Look I ’ m trying to walk a very thin line here, I... I... I have something to tell you that you are n't going to like, you are n't going to understand and I need you to be calm and have an open mind. Can you do that for me?' 
 I can see interest in his eyes, I have him hooked, I hope! 
 
'Ok here goes, Adolf... I'm from the future.' 
 
 I see him tilt his head, he is n't freaking out at least not yet anyway. 
 
'Prove it!' 
 
'Ok, I ’ ll try but some of the things I tell you will only happen after this meeting, so just keep what I have to say in mind. You are n't getting into art school, not this time and not the next. And there will be a next because you do n't have the credentials to do architecture do you?' 
 
'Easy you are from the school. This is all a prank, you do n't fool me. He is agitated now and I ca n't blame him.' 
 I beg him to sit down again, to relax.'There is a great danger coming Adolf, a war, and not a small one. It will be worldwide and you, you will fight in it. Not for Austria though, I know you, you do n't like the mixed race of the Austro-Hungarian Empire so instead you will join the Bavarian Army. Does this sound like you? Not everyone knows this about you at least not yet, do they?' 
 
'Will I survive?' 
 
 I have him!'You will survive but you will be injured. Just remember as bad as it seems it could be worse. Germany is going to lose the war, millions upon millions will die in horrible conditions and this is when it gets worse but you can change all that.' 
 
'Me? How and what could be worse than a war like you describe, the horror on his face, this could actually work!' 
 
'You are going to rise from the ashes; you are going to be the man to lead a new Germany. You will take it from the ruins and bring it to new heights, you will avenge, ( I struggle for words ) harder, better, faster, stronger. And this is where it goes wrong. You trigger a repeat, a world war 2 shall we say. Millions more will die, but this time more innocent civilians will die, they will starve to death, they will be shot, burned, tortured, executed... And it will be all on your orders. Cities will be wiped off maps. Maps will be filled with new names where emptiness once stood names of death camps, names of massacres, names where nameless countless numbers will be forgotten, will remain, will stay. And it will because of you and what you do.' 
 
 He has gone pale; he rests his head in his hands. How do you know it is me? 
 
'You are talked about in my time, everyone knows you and the horrors you unleashed on the world. From the youngest child to the old that fought against your military might everyone knows what you did.' 
 
'Do you understand me? Do you understand that you can change the world?' 
 
 He looks up, those piercing blue eyes showing evil, pure evil 
 
'Yes.... I'm going to be remembered.'
