Meet José Millán Astray while he's still alive, join the Spanish foreign legion or more probably the Falange since the war is practically at its end, fight at the battle of the Ebro and get me a Star or Astra or maybe even some of those odd makeshift grenades the Republicans had, as well as a good old 1916 Oviedo Mauser.

>implying I can't do all of this in 24 hours or less or your time travel is free

>>530345

This would make a really good movie

That's why I'd have to come up with a plan to actually do it somehow.

Before I go, I grab as many possible documents about modern tactics and historical documents on Republican strong points and operations throughout the whole war as I can and show them to the Nationalists.

Thanks to my help the war ends within a few months and I become a mysterious hero who helped the patriots defeat the communist subhumans.

By the time I return, there will be countless war memorials dedicated to me and historians will be baffled as to who in the fuck managed to appear out of thin air and present modern battle tactics and top secret Republican information to the Nationalists only to disappear again a few hours later with no traces.

>You can take anything you can carry with you.

All I need to take is the satisfaction knowing that thanks to me the commies got completely roflstomped.

There are things more important than simple material, OP. Things way bigger than all of us.

Ohh that pic sounds like a good plan. Go back and find commie slut then return, throw doritos and mountain dew at her until she's addicted to capitalist Gamer-Fuel™ and is fattened up to THICC proportions. Force her to cosplay as commie cat and appropriate her means of reproduction everynight whether she wants it or not.

take her to a bass pro or cabelas gun section and explain what a redneck is then watch her delicious tears roll down her face as she now realizes that a communist revolution will never work again

How the fuck did Germany lose the Eastern Front when they invaded and prepared a surprise attack; had a highly mobile and experienced army; captured nearly all the populous/industrial areas before the Soviets managed to rally together; yet they still lost. How were the soviets able to rally? This makes not one lick of sense.

I'd do nothing, due to the grandfather paradox. If I'd change anything in the past, there will be butterfly effect changes that could result in me never being born or finding myself in an unrecognizable situation when I come back.

In order to arrive back where I left, I'd have to hide for 24 hours and just disappear again, without having any significant effect on the events around me.

Assuming that this doesn't apply however, I'd get a wagon full of vintage guns and some sweet farmer girl, kek. Also some old spirits, wine and other things that increase in value over time.

Get my ass to Hitler and tell him about atomic bombs. Also tell Hess to not go to England

It was by no means by happenstance that finns halted their advances on the lines that Stalin had suggested during the negotiations before the winter war kicked off, with no regards on how little Soviet resistance there would have been. Which is pretty disgusting considering Hitler pressured Stalin into signing the peace-deal, by threatening to bomb the fuck out of several divisions which were currently crossing the ices of gulf of Finland. At that point, it would have taken something like two more weeks of fighting and Finland would have capitulated at that current rate of losses.

Here's a rough translation of pic related, the lower part;

>4.3.1941 in Kuopio, Atlas hotel:

>Radios received the following telegram:

>-"this is S+L+G / irina received information through Stalin/he is healthy but cannot comply with your request immediately / he would like to do so but the others do not / they do not want to understand / they do not believe even though irina believes / we believe that you would fight off germans / that would be good / thanks for R's and N's opinions / it is good that you do not make alliance / we would like to pull back(or withdraw) but the others will not withdraw / we now know that H will attack / do as irina asks of you / if attack is necessary / you may advance to line(or axis) Ladoga-Svir-Onega- S-channel no to white sea / do not cut the murmansk-belomorsk-onega-arkhangelsk- railway line / stop before that / not many of our troops in there / we need them in south / you will meet resistance / hold the germans / do not allow them to cross this line / you do this and you will get back your karelia and other areas / you will also get your tribal areas of eastern karelia / that is your land after all / do not allow germans through the (karelian) isthmus to L-grad / do not disturb us over this line / we are securing that line with light forces / do not shell Leningrad / we are in trouble with the current military situation / we now believe in you finns / this we do and we trust you / do not destroy karelia / Karelia will be left for Finland / it will be left for you / this is what we must now do / we trust Mannerheim / we trust 816 / nothing else can be done / irina requesting / irina believes in your efforts / your karelian dream will become true / luoi+gregori+S / to emil 816 / C + L + S + Irina/G."

>Mannerheim's almost immediate response to this telegram was as following: (4.3.1941 from Kuopio rad.)

>"-this is emil 816 / G + L + S + Irina / thank you for your good transmission and permission / we will comply with your request / we will only attack in order to tie up germans / however we need a confirmation for that promise in writing / send negotiating-delegation to Finland / announce when you will arrive and where / will report about this to our government with your permission / will start preventive measures against germans / will not attack at all if you withdraw from our area immediately / then germans will not attack through Finland either / send negotiators immediately or written confirmation of for this telegram / we are waiting for your message / emil 816 / emil"

We assumed that we can go back to our "current" moment, so it's highly probable there would be a causal connection and thus the grandfather paradox would apply.

>once you are sent from 2017 pearl to a 1938 pearl, all pearls in the string immediately after your destination moment are liquified.

Only for the observer in 1938, such as myself.

>this is why time travel is the most powerful weapon of mass destruction ever. Send back a single photon from your time to the forming of the universe, and you unform all subsequent moments (or liquefy all subsequent pearls) thereby destroying everything.

That's not how it works. Firstly because you assume the big bang theory to be correct, which is impossible to reliably prove by hard science, since we can't observe it, so we have to, at the basis, work historically. Secondly because all things "Physics" apparently came into existence with our universe. There was no time "before" that, so no "before" either. Really weird shit, I know.

Furthermore, we already did time travel and it appears that time manipulation is a requirement for successful space travel as well, either by nullifying the space-time-dilation or by traveling back in time "during" the "crossing" of space. Same goes for communications, both are impossible to pull-off if there was no manipulation of time going on, since they'd take forever.

Also, time is relative, so how would you reliably measure it to go back? This is quite the historic problem, you see:

>Feeling that no human could prove to be good enough to marry his lovely and talented daughter, Kakudmi took Revati with him to Brahmaloka(abode of Brahma) to ask the God's advice about finding a suitable husband for Revati.

>When they arrived, Brahma was listening to a musical performance by the Gandharvas, so they waited patiently until the performance was finished. Then, Kakudmi bowed humbly, made his request and presented his shortlist of candidates. Brahma laughed loudly and explained that time runs differently on different planes of existence and that during the short time they had waited in Brahmaloka to see him, 27 chatur-yugas had passed on Earth and all the candidates had died long ago. Brahma added that Kakudmi was now alone as his friends, ministers, servants, wives, kinsmen, armies and treasures had now vanished from Earth and he should soon bestow his daughter to a husband as Kali yuga was near.

>King Kakudmi was overcome with astonishment and alarm at this news. However, Brahma comforted him and added that God Vishnu, the Preserver, was currently on Earth in the forms of Krishna and Balarama and he recommended Balarama as a worthy husband for Revati.

>Kakudmi and Revati then returned to earth, which they regarded as having left only just a short while ago. They were shocked by the changes that had taken place. Not only had the landscape and environment changed, but over the intervening 27 chatur-yugas, in the cycles of human spiritual and cultural evolution, mankind was at a lower level of development than in their own time. The Bhagavata Purana describes that they found the race of men had become "dwindled in stature, reduced in vigour, and enfeebled in intellect."

Is that where the "around Finns, the ice is thin" meme comes from?

>>531079

>impossible to reliably prove by hard science, since we can't observe it

People in this millennium still communicate with memes, right?

>>531083

>I don't have anything to prove this, but it's the truth.

Nuff said? "Truth" is a concept not existing in science. You got probability, viability, plausibility and coherence, but no truth. Each theory must be coherent and backed by evidence, however one tries to falsify it in order to know it doesn't work that way. If that theory survives a lot of attempts to falsify it and works, it's viable and will most likely be adapted UNTIL we find something better.

As with any theory, in order to prove it you'll need to demonstrate it. In order to do so, you need a controlled environment where you determine most of the factors that could impact the result, so you can show that your result comes from whatever you predict and wasn't manipulated by something.

When testing something like the Doppler effect or the wave-particle-duality, you can draw conclusions that go beyond the experiment, but only as long as most significant environmental factors still apply. So if a test tells us something about the nature of light, it can still be applied to another case we can observe.

That's quite different when we consider events "now" light-years away in places where we can't go and look if things behave the same way. Even less if we think about a purely hypothetical beginning of the universe (is it even a universe?), where the conditions are drastically different. We can only speculate what might have happened there, if it ever did happen that way.

Fly to the United States and assassinate FDR and Truman, then let them take me alive. I'd then tell them the Soviets hired me to assassinate the President and Vice President, then disappear into the night.
