A series like 'The Twilight Zone' was fertile ground for time travel stories, along with attempts to change the present by altering events in the past. The original Rod Serling series offered a couple, like the second season one titled 'Back There', and a first season episode called 'No Time Like the Past', which actually included archive footage of Adolph Hitler in a couple of instances. This story had a uniquely different twist on things, which was ironically demonstrated when housekeeper Kristina (Jillian Fargey) presented the baby to Alois Hitler (James Remar) and his dinner guests after she had convinced a destitute woman to sell her own newborn child. She stated "I had to change the baby", which was truer than any one else could have imagined. This show dramatically depicted how history can't be bargained with, and that attempting to change it is a fool's errand at the very least. What wasn't quite credible in this story though, was why Alois Hitler and his wife Klara (Nancy Sivak) wouldn't have recognized that the baby shown to them wasn't their real child. If I could tell that the babies didn't look like each other, they should have been able to as well.
