'''Adolf Hitler''' ([[19th century|1889]]-[[1945]]) was a [[Human]] [[politician]] and [[author]] from [[Austria]]. 

== History ==
In the [[1930s]] and [[1940s]], he was the [[dictator]] of [[Nazi Germany]] sporting the title of [[Führer]]. His name was invoked in the Nazi salute, "''Heil Hitler''". In 1945, he committed [[suicide]] as his country was being defeated by a combined force of militaries, including those from the [[United States of America]] and the [[Soviet Union]]. ({{TOS|The City on the Edge of Forever|Patterns of Force}}; {{VOY|The Killing Game}})

Under Hitler's [[fascist]] administration, Germany recovered from having been [[World War I|defeated before]] and the [[Great Depression]] to become the most efficient nation in [[Earth]] history, coming close to being a dominant [[great power|global power]]. However, the nation's brutality and perverted nature meant that the nation had to be destroyed at great cost. ({{TOS|Patterns of Force}})

After [[Jonathan Archer]] restored a damaged [[timeline]], Adolf Hitler giving a {{dis|speech|public}} could be seen in the [[time stream]] as the timeline realigned itself. ({{ENT|Storm Front, Part II}})

== Legacy ==
In [[2266]], [[Roger Korby]] believed that by transferring consciousness into an [[android]] body, a Human would have practical [[immortality]]. [[James T. Kirk]] responded that this was programming, comparing Korby with others who had made the same promises, using different words, like [[Genghis Khan]], [[Julius Caesar]], Hitler, {{dis|Ferris|dictator}}, and [[Maltuvis]]. ({{TOS|What Are Little Girls Made Of?}})

In [[2268]], [[Spock]] listed Hitler with [[Ramses]], [[Alexander the Great]], Caesar, [[Napoléon Bonaparte|Napoléon]], and [[Lee Kuan]] as examples of [[Earth]]men whose desire for absolute {{dis|power|social and political}} corrupted them absolutely. ({{TOS|Patterns of Force}}) 

Later that year, [[Fleet Captain]] [[Garth of Izar]] listed Hitler with Alexander, Caesar, Napoléon, Lee Kuan, and [[Krotus]] as leaders who had failed at making the ultimate conquest. ({{TOS|Whom Gods Destroy}})

In [[2293]], in a conversation between [[Captain]] Kirk and [[General]] {{dis|Chang|General}}, Kirk pointed out that Chang had effectively paraphrased a [[statement]] by Hitler from [[1938]], when Chang stated "''We need breathing room''". ({{film|6}})

In [[2364]], in a [[Dixon Hill series|Dixon Hill]] [[holographic novel|holo-novel]] set in [[1941]], a [[headline]] on the front page of the ''[[San Francisco Herald]]'' [[Proclamation|proclaimed]] "''Hitler on the Move''", followed with the [[subheading]] "''[[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Roosevelt]] presses [[United States Congress|Congress]] for [[British]] aid.''" ({{TNG|The Big Goodbye}}) 

In [[2365]], in another Dixon Hill holo-novel, Dixon Hill's {{dis|secretary|occupation}} {{dis|Madeline|Dixon Hill}} said that the last time they had a new case was when "''Hitler and [[Stalin]] were [[bosom]] buddies.''" ({{TNG|Manhunt}})
{{bginfo|Madeline's comment most likely refers to the {{w|Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact}} of 1939, meaning that &ndash; according to her &ndash; Hill didn't have a new case in two years.|An early draft of {{st-minutiae|resources/scripts/145.txt|the script}} had originally stated "''The last time we got a new case, Hitler wasn't running Germany.''"}}

In [[2368]], Captain [[Jean-Luc Picard]] of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} agreed with [[Berlinghoff Rasmussen]] that saving an endangered [[planet]] could hypothetically allow "''the next Adolf Hitler or [[Khan Singh]]''" to come into being, but such [[philosophical]] debates didn't help him in solving real problems. ({{TNG|A Matter Of Time}})

By [[2380]], some individuals were considered worse than he was. [[Ron Docent]] mentioned [[time travel|going back in time]] to kill someone worse than Hitler as an example of the epic missions the {{USS|Vancouver}} participated in. ({{LD|Cupid's Errant Arrow}})

== Alternate histories ==
[[File:Adolf Hitler near the Statue of Liberty.jpg|thumb|Adolf Hitler in New York City in an alternate 1944]]
Hitler proved much more successful in at least two [[alternate timeline]]s. 

In one timeline, Hitler's success was based on altered events made during the [[Temporal Cold War]], thanks to the actions of the [[Na'kuhl]] [[temporal agent]] [[Vosk]]. In this version of history, [[Vladimir Lenin]] was [[assassinate]]d in [[1916]] and the [[Russian]] Revolution was prevented. 

With Russia not being considered a threat, Hitler was able to concentrate on the Western front, and conquered [[Belgium]], [[France]], and [[Old Britain|Britain]] in quick succession. He followed his victories in [[Europe]] by invading the [[United States of America]], conquering [[New York City]], [[Washington, DC]], and much of the [[East Coast|Eastern Seaboard]]. 

[[File: Hitler in a Mercedes-Benz.jpg|thumb|left|Hitler on parade]]
In [[1944]], this Hitler made a state visit to New York and pledged to eradicate "''financial profiteers''". [[Temporal agent]] {{dis|Daniels|Crewman}} sent [[Jonathan Archer]] and the starship {{EnterpriseNX}} to this timeline, where they were able to defeat Vosk and restore the timeline. ({{ENT|Zero Hour|Storm Front|Storm Front, Part II}})

In another timeline, Hitler's success was in part thanks to [[Leonard McCoy]], who traveled back in time to [[1930]] and saved a woman, [[Edith Keeler]], from a [[traffic accident]]. Keeler went on to lead a pacifist movement within the [[United States of America]] to convince their government to delay entry into the war. 

According to historical documentation of the alternate reality studied by Spock, the absence of American intervention bought the dictator enough time to perfect both [[V-2 rocket|V-2]] ballistic missile tests and [[heavy water]] experiments, ultimately winning the race to create Earth's first [[atomic bomb|atomic weapons]]. With these devices and their launching mechanisms complete, Hitler was victorious. 

The evolution of this timeline ultimately resulted in the non-existence of the [[United Federation of Planets]]. This timeline was aborted when Spock and Kirk, following McCoy, prevented the doctor from saving her. ({{TOS|The City on the Edge of Forever}})
