This is idiotic. You might as well argue that Ghenges Khan deprived us of the cure for cancer, or perhaps Pol Pot, or even Julius Ceasar. How about Napoleon? What about George Washington? All of these people are responsible for thousands of deaths, during war time. Are they equally responsible for a lack of certain people appearing in this time period?
No. Even a real genius can be stifled if they're born in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Imagine, if you will, a little girl who has the potential to find the cure for AIDS. Too bad she was born in Afghanistan and will not only never receive the education she needs, but wouldn't even be allowed to because of her gender. Imagine that instead of a girl genius in Afghanistan, imagine it's a little boy in rural America. He was born, but his parents are part of the large section of Americans who are too poor to qualify to pay taxes, save for wage taxes. The kid goes to public school, which is under funded, and is never encouraged to learn or explore. Lets say... this kid is a native of Texas, where Creationism is taught. Kid grows up without ANY of the tools needed to complete his potential and find the cure for AIDS. He grows up, barely gets out of high school, gets married and has more kids instead of doing wha...

You can have all the potential in the world but it can still be squandered without the proper resources to achieve it. Someone being responsible for the deaths of people in the past has absolutely no bearing on this fact. Remember, the global population in 1944 was a quarter of what it is now. Less than three billion. I'd say human expansion and reproduction has greatly outpaced the losses incurred during WWII.

Just think, the biochemist who would have found the cure for cancer may have been killed there, or the man or woman who could bring about an earlier end to the Cold War. Dachau held mostly German speaking Jews, other camps held Guypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poles and so on
11 million people killed = 5.5 million couples = @22 million children = @176 million grandchildren being productive people now who never had the chance to be.
Intelligence is always a severe threat to a waring government.

millions die each year and the probability of them being able to give birth to a genius is possible as well. what Hitler done was atrocious but comparing that to how many die of natural causes, disease, accidents etc, it's quite small.
