TextIt may be the most devastating act of mercy in history. A newspaper report chronicling how a boy of four was saved from drowning has surfaced in a German archive. The child – who historians believe could have been Adolf Hitler – was plucked from the icy waters of the River Inn in Passau, Germany, in January 1894. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk...
It's the same thing as with Bin Laden,what if in one moment in time someone wouldn't save his life,how many lives could be saved?Or the dark age we are living right now would never exist.
I've got to be honest, I think its something I would struggle with also
As the word say,Saving a life saving the humanity,so it goes not saving a life saving millions of lives.

If he had known who Hitler would grow up to be, would this priest have saved him? I figure he would have, since he may have seen it as a sin to just let him die.

But what may weigh heavily on his mind is the question: Is it worth one life to save millions?
Just very intriguing.

Whenever I see someone who has committed such crimes I always try and picture them as a little kid like around 5 and it makes me wonder what happened to them that traumatized them in a sense to make them do such horrible things to people. Are they born this way or is it shaped from an early age/emotional type trauma?
