I think there's an SMBC comic somewhere which posits that as Hitler was constantly fighting off time travelers bent on killing him, he became the best personal combatant in human history. It was necessary to resurrect him to fight alien invaders.
I'm not sure how to respond beyond saying that if you're going to answer an if-then scenario, then you have to assume the if. You can reject that if. But then the survey manager should respond by moving on to the next person.
I think that it's important because a perfectly valid reason for not killing Hitler would be "No, because then World War II would still happen and be worse." I'm deeply skeptical that a world without Hitler would have avoided World War II. Here's an alternate history scenario on that subject.
But that gets away from the ethical dilemma. The dilemma assumes that killing Hitler in 1920 prevents World War II. It's important to phrase it that way so that survey respondents don't get into historical speculation instead of ethical formulation.
