What if you could go back in time and kill hitler?
What if you could take an untraceable 3D-printed gun back in time to when a world power was being taken over by a megalomaniacal narcissist blaming a nation's ills on a disadvantaged ethnic group? What if you lived in a 1930s european country where an inexplicably charismatic leader diverted blame from the rich to some brown-skins in an appeal to working class whites?


Wouldn't it be crazy? To be the guy to pull it off? Hitler was a pretty terrible dude. Let's fantasize about changing history. The 1940s, specifically.

If 3D printers existed, then communism would have won. People would have finally have gotten control of the means of production and the means of production sits on your kitchen tabletop.

However, I'd imagine there would be an entire bedroom full of computer to process the instructions and take a person-sized stack of punch cards to print out a coffee cup.

If there was 3D printers in the 30's there wouldn't be anything cool like printed guns. It'll just be a bunch of top scientists laying around in a circle loving these things:

Why would you need an untraceable gun to kill Hitler? Your plan seems needlessly complicated. Just land your time machine on him while he sleeps and then zip back to the present, and his houseboys will find a flattened Hitler in his bed in the morning.

Good point! I imagine going back in time would be more technically challenging than going forward in time.

reminds me of that one jewish kid in france that shot a nazi diplomat and gave the krauts an excuse to fine tune the art of pogrom. Kid lived through the majority of the war by saying he shot the diplomat because they were gay lovers. reich didnt want to have the mention of this in court, so the quietly starved him to death or killed him off in secret while he was awaiting trial.

anyways, a high speed nazi bicycle chase sounds far more homoerotic than that kids defense

You're talking about Reinhard Heydrich, "the Hangman" and architect of the Holocaust? Dude got it worse because when the Sten gun failed, the assassins threw a loving anti-tank mine into his car, which blew the interior of his Mercedes Benz into him. He ended up dying more than a week later in largely agonizing pain from sepsis since they couldn't pull all the fragments from his body.

I 3d printed this little frame to stick a microswitch in to control my model train turnouts.





I think if I could get hitler into model trains he'd develop debilitating autism and not hurt anyone.

quote:

How the command and conquer universe was to happen under Westwood (No lies guarantee):
Kane made himself known during GWW II, and it is unknown how much the brotherhood was intertwined with the soviets.
Red alert 2 fits in and I'll get to it later.
1995 marks the beginning of TD and Tiberium itself. GDI and Brotherhood fight, no biggie. Same goes for TS but it has a rogue AI as an enemy for half of the game.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. In TW, the one westwood was to make anyway. All the universes that westwood made were to come together.
Kane had a top advisor for him. His name, Yuri. While searching through old documents from RA1 & 2, they redescovered chrono technology. Knowing these secrets, Yuri was to be sent back to before RA 2 to try to turn the tide of the war. It failed but Yuri still had to complete his mission, hence Yuri's revenge.
Yuri's personal army was the brotherhood. Before the world knew who they were. Kane still led him in RA 2 and wanted to cease the creation of GDI for his way of running the world. Hence, yuri died and the universe went in an infinite loop.

I think there's 2 ways to do this. 1) take a plastic bag back, they didn't have that poo poo back then. 2) Take back an advanced computer algorithm designed to make the trains run on time, get elected on that platform, and lead Germany into peaceful modernity.
