After 1889, was there any realistic way for an ordinary person to prevent Hitler's subsequent rise to power in Germany without losing their own life in the process of doing this? So far, I could think of stopping Gavrilo Princip from assassinating Franz Ferdinand in 1914; this would have either delayed or prevented WWI--and even a delayed WWI could have effects (for instance, the possibility of there not being a Bolshevik Revolution in Russia) that might have prevented Hitler's subsequent rise to power in Germany. However, were there any other realistic ways for an ordinary person to do this after 1889 without subsequently losing their own life? For the record, I want something that ANY ordinary person can theoretically do without that much difficulty and WITHOUT actually putting their own lives at risk/on the line. I fear that trying to assassinate Hitler (which would probably actually be really easy for an ordinary person to do in the pre-WWI years) will not work for this since one is likely going to lose one's own life either in the process of doing this or afterwards once one gets tried and hanged for one's murder of Adolf Hitler.
Anyway, what are your own thoughts on this?

A doctor or nurse in Hitler's field hospital in WW1 could overdose him, or infect him, or find other ways of killing him and making it look like he died naturally or from his wounds.
Or a German soldier on the front could shoot him when no one is looking.

Both of these would require a lot of luck due to one having to be at the right place at the right time, though. In contrast, I want something that literally ANY ordinary person would be capable of doing.HistoryGeek2019 wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 00:08A doctor or nurse in Hitler's field hospital in WW1 could overdose him, or infect him, or find other ways of killing him and making it look like he died naturally or from his wounds.

He could always just die in battle instead of being wounded. Other than that I really don't see another way.

Hitler was lucky. He was the target of many unsuccessful assassination attempts.

Sure. He gets accepted to art school and becomes a painter of mediocre art...

But why should someone kill an ordinary soldier like Gefreiter Hitler just for no reason? No one could foresee what evil creature he would become in the aftermath of WWI.HistoryGeek2019 wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 00:08A doctor or nurse in Hitler's field hospital in WW1 could overdose him, or infect him, or find other ways of killing him and making it look like he died naturally or from his wounds.

So the only way to stop Hitler is to prevent the outbreak of WWI.
Without WWI Hitler would have commited suicide on April 30th 1945, of course not as the Führer of the Third Reich in his bunker but as an unknown untalented art painter in a Vienna asylum for the homeless.

Alternately, Hitler could have stayed in Austria-Hungary and fought in the Austro-Hungarian Army following the outbreak of World War I, and he would have been killed in action in a battle with Serbian or Romanian troops.Helmut0815 wrote: ↑30 Dec 2023, 20:38But why should someone kill an ordinary soldier like Gefreiter Hitler just for no reason?

A Judge in Munich could have given him given him a 20-year sentence in 1923.
Geli Rabaul could have shot him before shooting herself.... but then again, who REALLY shot her?
Hindenburg could have told him to take a hike in 1933.
Rohm could have tripped him down a flight of stairs in the same year.
