h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There was a missed opportunity (from about 1925) that could have stopped WWII.

It was missed

What, why and how

Btitain could have declared war on Germany in 1925 and WW2 would have become WW3

Hitler was freed from prison some three years early. Who knows what would have happened had he stayed in prison for longer.

The use of "My" in the title is interesting. Anything to do with Stafford-Cripps?

Close but no prize (you are on the wrong track) but strong echoes of the answer

No HD

And there I was, awaiting my with dignity.

The use of the expression "from about 1925" is definitely indefinite enough to suggest a trend rather than an event.

"Hitler was freed from prison some three years early. Who knows what would have happened had he stayed in prison for longer."

He could have spent more time in activities improving his artistic talents and been a Turner prize winner? How spooky is that!

No, because he had no sense of composition.

He wanted to become an architect, too, but was no good at it. That's why he had Albert Speer design Germania for him. (Incidentally also a big part of the reason Poland was invaded so early - they decided that concrete was un-German and wanted to build the entire megalomaniac thing out of stone. But the German quarries couldn't keep up with the demand for dressed stone, which is why he needed more quarries and more workers... )

But that probably has nothing to do with the answer

A missed oppertunity to assassinate the Maniac....(One of the many)?............

Or did the authorities fail to break up one of Hitler's meetings, when they could have arrested him and jailed him for a number of years?.....


GT

hitler cam to britain and visited his brother/close relation in liverpool

we could have

a. bumped him off

b. married him off

c. given him nationality and the uk could have launched a blitzkrieg over europe

Some good points that have a bearing on the question
Post 3 Prison
Post 4 My is involved
Post 8 A trend over a period of time
Post 9 There was no need to improve his artistic talents
Post 11 The authorities failed

Dont get lost on any one point

Do alliances and non-aggresion pacts have any bearing????

If Burma (Myanmar) had got involved, some serious ass would have been kicked.

No it was a local problem GT

The "My" is not part of any other word

Something to do with potential royal marriages?

I seem to be saying the same thing in two threads here. More imagination please.

Oh no royal marriages
