Stupid people are great at winning arguments, because they're too stupid to realize they've lost.

Killing hitler during WWII means someone else will take his place who is a lot more smarter, not ill-tempered and is willing to do strategy.
And I would not kill Hitler. Because I want Hitler to nuke the world once I give him diagrams and instructions on how to create a nuke and watch humanity die in the glorious flames of atoms.
This was basically the plot of a book by Stephen Fry.
quote:
It turns out that without Hitler, a new leader emerged, Rudolf Gloder, who was equally ruthless. Hitler has been replaced with a Nazi leader who was even more charming, patient, and effective, and as committed to the Final Solution as Hitler had been.
In this alternative timeline, the Nazis won a mandate in the Reichstag in 1932 and built up an electronics industry of their own. Unlike Hitler, Gloder proceeded with stealth, ensuring peaceful unification with Austria in 1937. More alarmingly, Gloder's Nazis also had a head start on the research and development of nuclear weapons, which led to the destruction of Moscow and Leningrad, eliminating Joseph Stalin and his Politburo in this alternative 1938. The Greater German Reich annexes Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, and Turkey, and invades the remnants of the former Soviet Union. In 1939, France, Britain, Scandinavia, and the Benelux nations capitulate, although Britain rebels in 1941, leading to the execution of several dissidents, among them the Duke of York (the historical King George VI). Jews are exiled to a "Jewish Free State" within the former Yugoslavia, where most of this world's Holocaust occurs. The United States develops nuclear weapons in 1941, leading to a Cold War between Nazi Germany, its satellites, and the United States. The latter has never gone to war against the Japanese Empire in the Pacific.

Nutella only exists because post-war Italy faced a chocolate shortage, kill Hitler and it will never be created.
