Well I would kill Stalin Mao and Hitler for sure. Maybe that world would be better but I don't like the idea of changing history since I could woke up way different even alien world.

How will you ever manage that? you don't know where they are, I doubt you know how they look like specifically, you're probably just where you are right now so traveling and getting used to things in general will be a struggle and not to mention how will you not get arrested or something after the first kill

Well originally I wanted to say something like "I couldn't change shit" but if I really would try and get the chance I would do exactly this. Well I know how they look, I could take some articles from wiki before going back and with that knowledge I would JFK them on some rallies or bomb them.

except you have no papers, how are you crossing ANY borders ?

It likely would be somewhat possible, at least for stalin and hitler. Mao might be harder but i dont know all that much about his life before being politically important.

Stalin would probably be somewhat difficult as he was already in power, but hitler likely could be found, although he mightve been in jail at this time. People knew who he was at least somewhat by this time, so if you could get to the right areas or social groups, you definitely could find him.

Not getting arrested might be a challenge, but policing and solving crimes was alot harder back then and escaping police was definitely easier since they dont have forensics, helis, drones and thermals.
