At first I thought you meant that killing hitler would effectively kill everyone born after hitler since the conditions of their birth didn’t exist anymore.
But you’re going for a variation of the “let’s make hitler’s art career take off” plan, fair enough
Also worth noting with that definition of time travel, logically it would seem, time travel would be self eliminating.
IE, I go back in time, stop whatever I would consider the worse event in history… thus putting the world on a trajectory where myself or whoever invented the time machine no longer happens, leading to someone else inventing it, going back for a different reason, also changing the trajectory of history also eliminating the events leading to his time machine’s creation. Effectively the dice keep re-rolling until we get a world where the time machine is either not invented or not used, most probably early human extinction.

Well I would say, actually a really good point there, though I wouldn’t say “everyone born after hitler”, I guess really depends on one if WW2 happens. IE you kill hitler, but Heinrich Himmler lead the nazi party and history played very similarly. then you could expect possibly generations to unfold almost identically to the original timeline.
But yeah it’s the variation of the art career concept, except that I find the premise that hitlers actions were the cause… Fascism and Hitler were, a symptom of a broken country. Prevent the collapse, and the germans don’t vote for Hitler.
