I'm not sure I get it, could someone please explain this one?

Hitler killed himself in a bunker in 1945. So the time traveler went back and killed Hitler right when Hitler was already done with all his evil and was going to kill himself.

Not how I read it. I read it that of course the other guy wanted him to kill Hitler BEFORE all his deeds. But how I read it was he went to the bunker and it was really him all along that killed Hitler. Just, a little too late.

And why does that matter to time travel? I think I'm missing the obvious.

Edit: Because he killed him at the end, not the beginning. I just woke up.

He's some lesser-known landscape artist from the 40s that people in this timeline really hate for some reason. I kind of dread looking up what he painted to get such a reaction.
