[ WP ] You are a time traveler tasked with killing Hitler , but when you finally get to him , you find out exactly why you ca n't kill him .

The propaganda machine was a lot bigger and more advanced for it's time, I only did n't know that yet. 
 
 I arrived in war torn Berlin, my objective to kill Hitler. I had been following the videos and photographs, knowing that he would be there. Knowing that I would soon have the joy of ending the life of a terrible threat to my American way of life. Knowing that thousands of people have died and that feeling of his warm, sticky, blood trickle through my fingers as I liberate the world of this monstrous human being would make my known. Make me famous. Fuck the government, once his blood ran across my boots everyone would know that I slayed the evil hatred that was Hitler. 
 
 Scoping out his heavily guarded fortress I never saw him. Cars come by and shuffle people in and out but no Hitler. I call command, unless I get inside I'll never have a clean shot. They tell me to meet a double agent named Josef, he will have everything I need to get inside. 
 
 The next day at a farm outside the city Josef in a panic explains to me that Hitler is n't real. `` You dirty German loving bastard!'' I exclaim as I lunge at him with a knife. I could feel the sweat from his smaller frame as I held him close to my body, the tip of my knife pressing just hard enough to show a tiny pool of blood. 
 
 `` He's not real!'' Josef says again, tears streaming down his face. `` Please do n't kill me, Think about my family'' he struggles out of his mouth, taking deep gulps of air. 
 
 `` Prove it you traitor'' I say in a harsh tone as I press the knife harder. I want to kill him. I want to show my country that this German pig was just simply collateral damage and his love for Hitler made me sick. 
 
 Josef had acquired a top grade military uniform and German papers to clear me into Hitler's camp. Getting in was easy, as the joyous ruckus of a party upstairs caused many to be at ease. Josef lead me to another side of the mansion, peaking around every corner to make sure we were not in chance of being caught. He took me into a dark room, my hands aware of the blade I had hidden, fuck if he will turn on me. 
 
 The material inside made me fall to my knees. There it was, everything. Cameras I had never seen before, photos on the table all dated for the future, the iconic mustache, neatly arranged on shelves and tables. Military technology I had never seen before with screens with color so bright I was sure that aliens had personally dropped them to earth. Josef looked at me and calmly said `` It's not real. None of this is real''. 
 
 `` WHO is it then!?'' I say in panic. Someone is responsible. Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that there was n't one person but a group of many. On the bright screen photos of a man that looked like Hitler in front of a green sheet. Josef's demeanor changed and he turned with a sly smile. `` You're looking at him'' he exclaimed with a cool tone. `` You see,'' he said, `` humans are nothing but a gullible blood thirsty race. You would kill anything for a cause.'' 
 
 `` Why?'' I said with a break in my voice. I still could n't believe my eyes and ears. The person I have hated for so long I could n't even touch. I could n't feel his blood as he sputters his last breath. 
 
 `` Simply because I can'' Josef said with a sly smile. Before I could get more of an explanation I felt a warm blade go into my neck, then another into my chest. I felt the blood trickle down my mouth as I heard Josef laugh. I fell to the ground, the world too warm. Josef came over, ran his fingers through my hair and said `` It's the perfect plan, You ca n't kill a power that does n't exist. As you all search for the evil Hitler my evil will continue to reign powerful''. 
 
 Despair took over me as I gasped for air swallowing nothing but my own blood. I look over to see sketches of New York 56 years into the future with airplanes I had never seen before and I closed my eyes for the last time. What they meant I'll never know as I feel my heart fade. 
 
 
 
 Edit -- Holy shit I missed the Time traveler part. I like it too much to change it. Sorry
