Same person?
Infobox suggests that Oh No It Isn't! (novel)/Oh No It Isn't! (audio story) and Let's Kill Hitler are the same person. Given Oh No It Isn't takes place in the 26th century and the epilogue of Let's Kill Hitler takes place in the 51st it's unlikely, though not impossible. However as there's no proof either way I'm disambiguating them. --Tangerineduel / talk 11:45, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
