Let's say you have a time machine and use it to travel to different periods in time, and across to one alternate world. So you go back in time and you bring back with you Ghana's Khan, Alexander the Great, George III (King of England) and a person from an alternate timeline in the 21st Century, where everything is the same, except for the fact that the NAZIs won the second world war.
You bring these people to our timeline in the 21st Century. After adjusting to life in the twenty-first century, these men now start to try to accomplish their goals
Um. Okay. They have no mechanism for doing so. Genghis hasn't got his Mongol hordes, and even if he did, there's not much horse archers are going to accomplish against Type 99s.
Maybe Greece is willing to hand control of their military over to some wacko claiming (in a language that only a tiny number of historical scholars understand) to be Alexander the Great, but, seriously, Israel is a nuclear power. Greece isn't.
What's George going to do, show up all, "Cheerio, we're Mad King George, turns out we're not dead after all, just abducted by some chap in a police box, and if that Elizabeth woman will just give us our crown back, we'll restore the honour of Old Blighty by starting an overseas war of conquest against the most powerful military on the face of the planet, who also happen to be our closest allies, and who operate multiple military bases right here in England, so it's almost like they've already occupied us."
And, I mean, we've got plenty of home-grown neo-Nazis who are completely out of touch with history and reality already. I don't see what importing another from the Nazi timeline is going to accomplish. Also I notice that you didn't dare go so far as to retrieve actual Hitler and try to claim that his morality was subjective...
