The missed chance to stop Hitler in WWI

During the First World War, a British soldier named Henry Tandey made a significant decision when he encountered a wounded German soldier, Adolf Hitler, in 1918. Instead of shooting him, Tandey chose to spare his life, a choice he later reflected on with regret, especially after learning of Hitler's future as a dictator responsible for millions of deaths. Tandey's actions were consistent with his character throughout the war, as he often showed compassion towards enemy soldiers. His bravery was recognized, and he became one of the most decorated soldiers of the war. The story of Tandey and Hitler gained notoriety when a painting depicting Tandey's act of mercy was sent to Hitler, who later acknowledged Tandey's heroism. This incident raises profound questions about the impact of individual choices in history and the moral dilemmas faced by soldiers in wartime. Had Tandey known the consequences of his decision, he might have acted differently, potentially altering the course of history.
