Profile
In 1938, Hitler acquired the validium bow which was one of the components of Nemesis. (DW: Silver Nemesis) Hitler was assisted in his rise to power by the War Chief and the Timewyrm trapped in his mind. The Doctor gave words of advice and encouragement to him, later explaining to the shocked Ace that it was necessary to ensure history would run its proper course. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)
Earlier in his personal timeline, the Doctor had encountered Hitler while investigating reports that Hitler may have survived his apparent death with the aid of alien technology, only to learn that, while Hitler had died, Eva Braun had survived and been smuggled to safety while being pregnant with Hitler's child. However, Hitler's son was killed by his father after he managed to force the Doctor to take him back in time. Hitler dismissed his son as a madman and shot him. (PDA: The Shadow in the Glass)
