Morally Ideal Point to Kill Hitler?

Ideally, this:

Shortly after April 1st 1924 when he got off lightly for treason and inciting murder that lead to the death or 18 people

But at the absolute latest, some time in 1938. The problem with a date like 1938, however, is that Nazi antisemitism has already been put in place largely, so even that date is rather late morally. The fact that the policies enacted by that time were relatively minor compared to what came later though means that one might be able to, on a very relative scale, contemplate 1938 as the "right time" to knock off that madman.
 
In hindsight? The morally ideal time is at birth. Strangle the Hitler infant with his own umbillical cord.
 
Beer Hall Putsch. He is knowingly committing treason and calling on others to violently overthrow the lawful government. The traditional punishment for treason has always been death, it would be completely justified at this point.
 
And this is probably the crux of the story, I don't know if you have ever read the James Hogan story "Thrice Upon a Time" but the characters dealt with a similar problem - no matter what they did things just got worse. They sent information back to themselves to fix what they thought was an earth shattering problem, and it caused a worse earth shattering problem.

Recalls a long forgotten short story - Demotion by Robert Donald Locke.

There's a kind of "Time Patrol" run by a descendant of a WW2 aviator whose bombs killed Hitler in 1943, and is famous for a couple of other things too. But a war crisis is looming, and in order to avert it he finds himself having to erase, one by one, all the things his ancestor is famous for. On the third attempt he succeeds by deleting the killing of Hitler.
