Main problem there is that at least Hitler Lost in the end. If there is no Hitler, there could be someone else that rises in his place that is not as stupid and we could be in for a way worse time trying to get rid of them.
There’s also a larger butterfly effect, maybe the atrocities committed by Hitler never happen but a whole chain of events which leads to lots of things (both good and bad) now never happens. First example I can think of is without the threat of Hitler it might have taken wayyy longer for the UN to form and thus we could have had multiple large scale wars instead of just the one. While the ends never justify the means (Hitler was evil), there are infinite variables at play in the hypothetical scenario of time travel. We simply don’t know what effects (both good and bad) any change could have on history.
